In the second day of MSU a program , we continue talking about culture.

Suggestions to fix this issue was by being flexible company allowing  employees to work in the time they  need to work not the time that is mandated by the company that all employees should be complying with.

It started with an introduction about the program and MSU.
There was an exercise to pick an objective of the ATP program, then it shows the message , identify target audience , the medium to deliver the message , and an  evaluation a plan.
This basically was to deliver a strategic thinking process.
Later, we  talked about culture. Define what culture is in general. Then link it to the company's culture.
The interesting part was, the company has a culture, consisting of certain elements that were mentioned in the definition, and employees may not accept or  recognize  these elements .
  1. values
  2. Heroes
  3. rituals
  4. cultural networks
The company will have officially listed values that all employees share. Also informal values that are part of the culture.
The company has heroes that tell stories about the company history . Although not all  employees may be aware of these heroes.
