WCIY Workplace Culture week 7

Workplace culture is all about the type of place and type of people you are working with. A lot of times people associate brand value and employee compensation as the only two important aspects of a company. Company culture is often over looked with the belief that these two other aspects are enough to bring in enough new talent to sustain the company. This is not always true, work culture is important.

In most cases the work place culture can determine the ability of leadership and employees to relate to each other, without being on the same page managers and employees will be less able to make decisions for the common good of the company. There must be some general feeling everyone shares. Not every work place will have the same culture, so it's more about finding one that works for you than adapting to whatever culture you come across.

Working is not selling your soul to the company, you should feel comfortable and excited to go to work. You should feel like you are working with people you get a long with, like you get to see some of your friends. Work should be a happy and healthy environment and if you ever feel this is not the case you should not feel obligated to stay.
