Director of Retention and Recruiting

Even though culture is all around us, even at work, it is likely defined by different people differently. On the most basic level, Forbes defines workplace culture as: “The shared values, belief systems, attitudes, and the set of assumptions that people in a workplace share.” Employees want to feel connected to their colleagues and to the company’s mission and core values. Put another way, employees want a positive culture. And it seems like companies want that as well. To me, workplace culture is the lifeblood of how you feel when you show up to work. We all work because we need money, but we should be able to be selective. The great resignation showed everyone paying attention that culture is the key to retention and it's more than a ping pong table or pizza parties. Good culture is authentic, it's created by the people you employ and the SOPs, KPIs, reviews, the ability to humanize your actions, sympathy, and many other things. A good culture eliminates selfishness and creates teams that want to win. You should be able to feel a good culture almost immediately. Look out for impostors, some are tough to find. Treat people hiwnyou want to be treated, life is too short to work somewhere that isn't a good fit.
