The Importance of Culture

Business culture has seen transformational changes over recent years. It has been largely driven by our rapidly changing world, which has embraced technology, innovation and diversity.

Companies are recognising the power of cultivating a strong business culture and learning that it is vital to achieving business growth and success.

Good or bad; #culture can define a business. Alexander Rose International, a global executive search firm, has created an excellent one. One which promotes inclusivity, accountability and unsurprisingly is focused on people.

The company’s managing director, Jonathan Duffield discusses the significance of adopting a positive business culture:

“It goes without saying that culture has become vitally important for both business leaders and individuals. Sadly, our line of work has inherited a bit of a bad reputation. Some of it now undeserved.

“Executive search, talent acquisition, #recruitment – It’s not all bravado, arrogance and high targets. There is so much more to it than that. Those that are excelling in the industry have exceptionally high standards. We are not sales people looking to earn the biggest commission or cold callers aiming to dial 100+ numbers a day.

“We are commercial leaders, strategists, researchers, councillors and advisors. We are good listeners, empathetic, strong willed, firm but fair and intuitive.

?“At Alexander Rose International we recognise that individuals thrive in different environments. Not all standard practice methods and processes will suit everyone. This is why we encourage each team member to aspire to be a 360° consultant. Whereby as a team we agree on the fundamentals, but as individuals we are fully autonomous.

?

“This not only removes barriers for our clients but also creates a unique culture of responsibility and discipline. Our clients know that each of us will always give more than 100% - we do go the extra mile. It sounds a bit cliché but we are a team of self motivated, determined individuals.

“Our philosophy for open communication encourages us to face any challenge or conflict head on. We are proud of the culture we have created. It represents each character within our business and epitomises our core values. We are inclusive, honest and hold ourselves wholly accountable which is why our #clients trust us, and stay with us.”
