Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to create a culture handbook for the purposes of effectively onboarding new employees. The commissioning party for this thesis was a Finnish game industry start-up, Dazzle Rocks. The company is developing an ambitious social sandbox MMO game and is growing rapidly. Nurturing and developing its unique culture have been strategic focus areas for the company for many years and due to growth, onboarding new employees into the culture has become a priority. Whilst culture is formed in groups, everyone perceives it individually. The goal for the culture handbook was to help bridge the gaps between different interpretations of the company culture by conveying the company’s core values, principles and desired behaviours in an easily digestible format. This thesis describes the journey of how the culture handbook was created. To gain an understanding of which components form organizational culture, the theoretical framework of this thesis examines Schein’s organizational culture theory, Giftwork, and 9 dimensions of culture, a framework originally developed by the consultancy agency, Great Place to Work. The research itself was conducted in the form of action research. Process benchmarking was conducted on other publicly available culture handbooks from Smartly.io, Futurice, Virta and Hubspot to form an understanding of how successful companies communicate about their culture. Because culture is ultimately formed by people, two workshops were organized for the entire Dazzle Rocks team to discern the key unique components of the company’s culture and gather content ideas for the final culture handbook. Theoretical framework and conclusions from action research were combined to create the product of this thesis, the Dazzle Rocks culture handbook. It serves as an effective culture onboarding tool for new employees of the company but can also potentially be utilized in other processes such as talent development, performance management, employer branding and leadership development. Culture evolves over time, so continuous development of the handbook is imperative. Finally, the theoretical framework and action research process were incorporated into a general framework for culture handbook development that can be utilized by other organizations to create their own culture handbooks.
