This Is the Key to Great Company Culture
Ways Every Employee Can Contribute to Company Culture
A great company culture ?? is built and reinforced by its people — meaning us, our peers, and our teammates. ICs without any team leadership or supervisory power can have a very big impact within their own span of influence. In fact, there are several things we can do, even early in our career, to build a culture we’re proud to be a part of.
Find ways to connect with people at an emotional and personal level, what happens at work, home. Go out of the way to befriend new team members. ?? Ping someone and do a quick introduction in the company cafeteria for 15-20 mins.
Emotional Support ?? and Emotional Intelligence plays a big role, celebrating others and reminding others in the team of each other’s birthdays and work anniversaries. Make a big life event bigger for the individual with active support. ??
Show up for people without resentment. Find a balance between saying “no” and “yes,” and when you say “yes,” do so with care and not resentment. ??
Many companies need employees to join employee resource groups ??, short-term projects or long-term committees focused on building a better workplace. Consider joining one of these efforts. Set the example.
