Defining Workplace Culture

Culture in the workplace is fundamentally defined by how employees think and act to achieve results. It transcends superficial perks like ping pong tables or casual dress codes, focusing instead on decision-making and communication practices. A performative culture that emphasizes fun activities neglects the critical aspects of collective outcomes and accountability. Ultimately, a clear understanding of culture is essential as it directly correlates to a company's success and ability to drive meaningful results.
