Company Culture. What does yours look like?

Jan 13, 2025

There’s a phrase that, whenever it’s uttered, immediately makes most people think of bean bags, slides, and free coffee.

It makes us think of sleep pods, Friday beers and corporate away days.

It makes us think of expensive consultants, who suggest that we should all burn our meeting tables and sit in the Lotus position for every meeting.

We could go on, but you get the point: We're talking about “company culture”.


Company culture is one of the most misunderstood things in the world of work, primarily because it’s something that exists, independent of any specific effort to create it.


You might not think you have any company culture, but you DO, and if you don’t realise that it exists, there’s a good chance that it’s probably not exactly as you’d like it.

The good news is that you can change and improve it. Why would you want to? Because by instilling a positive company culture you will:

  •  Find the success you want and need for your business
  •  Create a company that people want to work for
  •  Motivate and retain your key players AND attract new employees to come and work for you

There are lots of factors which feed in to creating a company culture which empowers employees, such as using clear communication, operating with transparency and providing opportunities - but it all comes back to valuing your people, first and foremost.

Your people are your biggest asset. Invest in them and you will reap rewards.
