Infosys is an IT services company. It competes against multinational firms including IBM and Accenture. In 2002, Infosys was considered as the strongest financial performer in India and the best employer also by Business Today. But in 2003, the total employee system was changed in internal employee performance and there was decrease not only in employee satisfaction but also in loyalty and decrease in advocacy. By all of these the confidence in senior leadership in the firm got decreased (Business Today best employee and company, 2003) To overcome this situation the company hired a lead employee of the human resources, she is Hema Ravichandra. The main reason for this drop is increasing in disconnection between info scions and their middle and upper manager.
Immediately Hema Ravichandra and her team working on several initiatives and also started improving in communication, empowerment and trust , internal strengthening in employees. The effort began by creating a policy council, chaired by HR. Since many managers within Infosys head very little management experience. Then Hema created a training programs including training in cross cultural management, dealing with sexual harassment and a safe working environment, listening and responding to employee concerns. And finally, managers were given more authority to make decision regarding their project, assignment and subordinates.

(Business Today’s , 2004). By this understood that how organisation culture effects the performance of the employees which consist effects the performance of the organisation. This proves that organization culture and values are much important for a organization because it leads to the success and longer sustainability of the company. Without culture the organisation can’t work only on strategy. I agree that culture influence on organization performance more than strategy.Works Cited(2003).
