4 Routes to Remarkable Company Culture

Too Long; Didn't Read

Everything I learnt about how to do company culture right I learnt in a tiny, cramped office at an up and coming publishing startup in 2007. The company would host a welcome lunch for every new employee (be it a temp or the most junior team member as I was back then) Every team member would attend, regardless how senior or busy they were, and it was a wonderful, informal, relaxed way to welcome new people to the company. A marketing team member had just returned to the office after lunch and exclaimed that someone at the restaurant thought she was a waitress. That afternoon, all three founders sat down with him in private and explained to him that any kind of racist comments were not going to be tolerated.
