What is Corporate Culture, anyway?

It's more than some nifty new buzzword, thought up by the hip-set to make work sound like a vacation...Corporate Culture is the environment—emotional, social, physical, political and economical—that you work within...

In addition to dictating things like which day to wear the red tie, and which day to order-in sushi, Corporate Culture emanates through the workplace quietly directing people to communicate certain ways, follow unspoken rules, move in implied circles...

corporate culture dictates behavior more than you might think It can also work more blatantly... does your workplace have a Post-It Note® communication epidemic? Were you laughed out of a meeting for not liking Kudo™ Bars? Do you have a problem working 90 hours a week?

Ultimately, positive Corporate Culture would be the result of a well aligned staff, executive, mission statement and company goals.

If the alignment of those things is 'out of whack', Corporate Culture reflects it exponentially.

Are you in tune with your corporate culture? It's important to your success... and your job satisfaction.

You can start with teambuilding, training and mentoring... in that order!

Here's an idea:

Make it company policy that everyone on the team should have a duck on their workstation. Teams could "dress up" their ducks according to their perception of the corporate culture... this could be a very telling & worthwhile excerise to see if everyone is on the same page.

We have lots of ducks - get yours now.
