Your company culture is about so much more than the dress code and cubical layout in your office.

How your employees feel every day about coming to work for you is critical for the success of your business. More importantly, it is also a way to connect with and hire the best potential candidates who share similar core values to your current staff and the company mission statement. Since your goal is to hire the best and the brightest before your competition can, creating a culture worth envying is a big step in the right direction. Here are a few things to consider.

Those Who Don’t Study History

You may have heard the old axiom that those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. You can learn a lot from the past in your company. What has worked and what hasn’t? How can you use this information to create a better corporate culture for the future? If you’re uncertain, go directly to the source and talk to your staff about what they like and don’t like in the company.

Establish Your Mission Statement

The first real step in developing a set of core values for your corporation is to determine your company mission statement. Everything you do from that point on should be reflective of this mission. This will inform your future goals, your corporate culture, and it will be used to attract the right people to your company.

The Right People in the Right Seats

The next step to ensuring that your corporate culture is strong and effective is to ensure that you have the right people working at all levels of the company. Making hiring a priority for every position, from general office to CEO, will be what makes your company stand out from your competition, and make them sweat.

Create a Team of Believers

Lastly, your staff should buy into your mission completely. They should be excited about coming to work every day and willing to spread good publicity about your company without prompting. There may always be unhappy employees, but if your company actively works toward the fundamental happiness of everyone on the team, they will be a stronger more cohesive team overall.
