The right company culture brings all types of people together to work cohesively no matter what the industry. Company culture is the personality of a business, so building a sense of community is essential to success.
Start by hiring the right people, seeking attitude over skill set. Next, invest in employees’ happiness. Satisfied customers and clients stem from content employees. Last, empower employees for the future. Think about who will be running the company in 20 years, and invest in those individuals.
Offer professional development opportunities, schedule time for yearly retreats, nominate employees for board positions and provide continuing education.
