An organisational culture is the patter of assumptions, values and norms shared by the members within the organisation. Such assumptions are proved to improve organisational effectiveness.

Values are concerned with what has to be done in an organisation. Employees are told about what is important to the organisation through values. By examining JD Wetherspoons organisation, its culture could be explained in terms of ‘shared values’ as it places great attention and focus on listening to, and acting on, feedback from members of staff on all aspects of the business. Suggestions are brought up in weekly meetings and staffs are rewarded for their suggestions.

Also staffs are kept in touch with weekly newsletters and monthly company video which provides better communication and more involvement. This clearly illustrates shared values, as members are kept updated with the scenario within the organisation; therefore, they gain better morale and goodwill and become more motivated in their work. Hence the staffs know that they are valued in the organisation
