In a study focused on understanding the salient cultural attributes, two broad distinctions about organizations emerged. One were those with Low Convergence, while conversely the other was with High Convergence. The former are those where employees largely do not end up agreeing on the most important of cultural attributes. The other is where their views are aligned with the broad talent management systems in place. Employees view their workplaces in offering differing and opposing ways. The same company was viewed as authoritative by some employees, but as caring by others. High convergence is overall very important as it signifies high levels of customer orientation and employee engagement. High convergence though will also make an improper work culture, more difficult to change.
