Background
The Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (KWCA) is a national landowner led membership organisation, established in 2013 to serve the collective interests of over 190 community and private conservancies. KWCA works to create an enabling environment for conservancies to thrive by advocating for the right policies, laws and incentives and supporting them through information sharing, and capacity building. KWCA recognises that conservancies represent a strong mechanism to promote wildlife stewardship and custodianship by local communities and landowners that share land with wildlife.
In the last 10 years, KWCA has grown from a relatively nascent start-up organisation to a more effective and established organisation that now plays a critical national leadership role in the country’s conservation, environment and natural resources sector. In addition, KWCA has evolved into a respected and trusted authority in community conservation locally and globally as is evidenced by its growth in membership growth and strategic partnerships.
The KWCA team has grown from a team of two staff to twenty staff in a relatively short period. With this growth, there comes many changes to the team dynamics. With that, KWCA plans to develop an organisational culture handbook to;
1. Clarify Organisational Values: Clearly defining and communicating the core values and beliefs of the organisation to align employees with the company’s mission and vision.
2. Provide Guidance: Offering guidance on expected behaviours, norms, and practices within the organisation to ensure consistency and coherence in actions and decisions.
3. Promote Understanding: Facilitating a shared understanding of the organisation’s culture, including its history, traditions, and cultural nuances, among employees at all levels.
4. Support Onboarding: Assisting new hires in acclimating to the organisation’s culture by providing them with insights, expectations, and cultural norms to ease the transition.
5. Foster Engagement: Enhancing employee engagement and commitment by promoting a positive and inclusive culture that values diversity, collaboration, and innovation.
6. Build Consistency: Establishing a common language and framework for discussing and driving cultural initiatives across different departments or teams within the organisation.
7. Encourage Accountability: Setting clear expectations for conduct and performance aligned with the organisation’s values and holding individuals accountable for upholding those standards.
8. Drive Organisational Change: Serving as a tool for managing culture change initiatives, such as mergers, acquisitions, or strategic shifts, by guiding employees through the transition.
