In the November 11 edition of our Cloud Talk webinar, we found out how leaders get workplace culture right
A company's culture is key to its success. It's a code of conduct that determines how things are done within the company, how appealing it is as a workplace to current and potential hires, and how productive its people are.
If you like your company's culture, you’re often happier with your job and more inspired to work harder and collaborate. In fact, an inspired employee is almost 125 percent more productive than someone who’s merely satisfied with what they are doing, according to Bain & Company. On top of feeling inspired at work, younger generations also expect to have meaningful opportunities to shape their company’s growth as well as their own.
But building a strong and healthy company culture is easier said than done. What are some of the best practices out there, and what should leaders reassess about theirs to make it better?
We discussed these questions and more during the November 11 edition of Cloud Talk, where three business leaders shared their insights.
