4 Tips to Help Define Your Company Culture

Company culture begins with your company’s mission statement and includes your core values. The next and possibly the most important part of your company’s culture should describe how your company works and lives out its values. Here are four tips that will help you define and implement your company’s culture.

Have a Sense of Purpose

What is your company’s reason for existing? As a company, do you make a positive contribution? Do your employees want to come to work every day because they have to or because they believe in the sense of purpose your company has created? Company culture begins with making sure your employees have a sense of purpose and believe they are making a difference in this world. Demonstrate and communicate that your why is worthy of their time and hard work.

Instill Confidence in your Team Members

Trust the people you hired. Let them do their jobs. Give grace graciously. They will make mistakes; make sure you allow them to be turned into learning opportunities. When someone asks for help, ensure managers and leaders are not only listening but acting as well. When your teams and companies have established this trust, your people are not afraid to think outside the box and offer new ideas, because they know they will be heard.

Validate core values through action

Culture starts somewhere and it’s not the words you have established as your mission and values. It starts with the actions of leadership, the CEO, and the founders. If you do not live out and actively practice your culture, who else will? Be your company’s special sauce by demonstrating every day what it looks like to live out your core values. Take a look to see that all your social media posts are in line with your core values so you have a positive effect on your company’s culture.

Sustain employee enthusiasm through culture

It’s obvious. If your company has a great culture, your employees will be happy. When employees love to come to work because they believe in your mission and values, they work hard. Hard work, happy employees, and leaders who live out the culture keep companies strong and sustains them as leaders in their industry.
