It’s Time Bring in Culture Operations Specialists
Company culture has become such an important part of a company’s identity. With 94% of executives believing that a distinct workplace culture is important to business success, culture has become a widespread high-priority. However, your business’ success doesn’t rely solely on building that culture, you need to begin operationalizing the internal processes that support and sustain an effective company culture over time. It’s time to bring in culture operations specialists.
Let’s begin with what culture really means.
When people think of company culture they typically think of ping pong tables in the common room, team happy hours, and on-tap kombucha in the kitchen. Although these added perks are fun and exciting in a work environment, they do not define culture for companies. Culture is about inspiring innovation and fostering community within your company. Culture isn’t optional, it’s essential to the success of your business.
Leadership may define culture as the daily execution of the purpose and values of the company. While those are essential to the backbone of your organization, they often have not been operationalized in ways that impact everyday life for your employees.
Operationalizing culture means integrating your company’s purpose into yours and your employees’ everyday life.
