​FIC CULTURE MODEL

FIC Culture Model SImple Hexagon.png

Organizations are complex culture ecosystems comprised of people with different identities and experiences and the microcultures that exist around them.  Like every ecosystem, organizational cultures must maintain a careful balance. 


Fostering an inclusive culture of belonging means balancing the differences across microcultures and aligning them aligning them to your larger organizational culture values. At FIC Human Resource Partners, we understand the complexity of organizational cultures and our nuanced understanding allows us to guide our clients in the work of balancing their microcultures and fostering inclusive cultures of belong. 

Social, Operational, and Ideological Culture

The FIC Culture Model is a holistic nuanced view of organizational culture.


Organizational culture is comprised of 3 culture dimensions: Social, Ideological, and Operational culture. Within each of those dimensions are 6 culture elements.  For each of those elements there are 4 potential culture qualities that may be experienced. 


Our Organizational Culture Quality Audit enables us to measure and identify the culture qualities of all 18 culture elements.
