Assessing Company Culture

When you’re on the hunt for your next great career opportunity, bear in mind that it’s not just about the position and compensation package.

Company culture can play a big role in your career happiness.

Company culture itself can have a major impact on your satisfaction and productivity at work 👍💯. A study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that companies with a strong company culture are more likely to have engaged employees, lower turnover, and higher productivity 💯. That’s why it’s important to assess culture during the interview process.

Here are a few things you can do to sniff out company culture:

Ø Do your research 💡. Before your interview, take some time to research the company’s culture 👀. Look at their website, social media pages, and Glassdoor reviews ❓. What do current and former employees say about the company culture?

Ø Ask questions ❓. During your interview, be sure to ask questions about the company culture 👀. What are the company’s core values? 🤔 How is decision-making made? 🤔 What are the opportunities for professional development? ❓

Ø Pay attention to the details 👀. During your interview, pay attention to the little things. How are you greeted? 👋 How does the office space feel? 🏢 What is the dress code? 👔 These small details can give you clues about the company culture 💡.

Here are some specific questions you can ask about company culture:

Ø How would you describe the company culture? 🤔

Ø What are the opportunities for professional development? ❓

Ø How is work-life balance supported? ❓

Ø What are the company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives? ❓

Ø What are some of the challenges the company is facing? How are they facing them? ❓

Ø What are some of the things you like most about working here? ❓

Assessing a company’s culture takes a little extra time and effort, but it’s worth it. Here are some statistics about the importance of company culture:

According to a study by Glassdoor, 77% of employees say that company culture is important to them 👍.

Another study by TINYpulse found that 57% of employees would leave their job for a better company culture 👎.
