The Importance of Workplace Culture

Choosing a job based on company culture rather than salary, title, or mission is increasingly recognized as crucial for long-term satisfaction. Many employees find themselves disengaged in workplaces that don't align with their values, as shown by a troubling Gallup study revealing only 17% engagement among workers in East Asia. When cultural mismatches occur, individuals may resort to 'quiet quitting', doing just enough to stay employed. Thus, understanding workplace culture can prevent regretful decisions after signing a contract.
