How can companies effectively address any discrepancies between the company's desired culture and the actual culture as perceived by employees?

Companies can effectively address discrepancies between desired and actual culture by first clearly defining the desired culture and values. They should then assess the current culture through employee feedback, surveys, and observations. Next, they can identify areas of misalignment and develop a plan to bridge the gap, which may include changes to policies, leadership behavior, communication strategies, and employee training. Finally, companies should consistently communicate the desired culture, lead by example, and involve employees in the process to ensure alignment and commitment to the new culture.
