Purpose:

  • Inform readers of the various ways in which companies create a great company culture and how to apply that information to your own company.
  • 10 different companies – 10 different takeaways.

Zappos

  • "Zappos hires people according to cultural fit first and foremost"
  • Fun and upbeat workplace culture = happy employees that truly desire to provide customers with excellent service and treat other employees with respect.

Chevron

  • Chevron uses health benefits and programs to show employees that the company cares about their health and well-being.
  • They require their employees to take regular breaks.

Google

  • Another approach to creating great company culture is with company benefits, which shows that employees are valued members of the company.
  • A few perks of working at Google include: "free meals, employee trips and parties, financial bonuses, open presentations by high-level executives, gyms,” and “a dog-friendly environment"

Facebook

  • Large companies that experience rapid growth end up creating highly competitive cultures. Highly competitive cultures can lead to a stressful and competitive workplace environment.
  • Facebook's attempt at solving that problem includes the creation of conference rooms, separate buildings and lots of outdoor space for work breaks.
  • Facebook has decided to have management (including Zuckerberg himself) work in the office space alongside other employees in order to create "a sense of equality among the competition."
