Companies want employees to be passionate advocates for their missions, but the sad truth is most employees aren’t that excited about work. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 32% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs. If your employees aren’t committed to and enthusiastic about work, it may be time to examine your company culture.
In short, company culture is a company’s personality. It describes how workers relate to and experience a company’s mission, values, ethics, expectations, goals, and workspaces. A strong company culture is linked with how satisfied and productive employees are and whether they decide to stay at a company long-term. Unfortunately, the culture at many companies could use some work: Only 27% of employees strongly agree that they believe in their company’s values.
