Workplace culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices that characterize an organization and its environment. It encompasses the norms and expectations that shape how employees interact, collaborate, and perform their work. Workplace culture can influence job satisfaction, employee engagement, productivity, and retention.
