Is The Culture In Your Company Great Enough To Be Written About?
Yesterday was a special day for me (Kya). My team threw a pink themed Happy Birthday week celebration for me. It started with pink balloons in the parking garage when I arrived in the morning. There were pink signs along the entire path that I walked from the garage into the building, up the stairs, and down the halls. I was so surprised and laughing the whole way to the office, while everyone in the building was watching me stroll along. I walked into the office to find the entire team dressed in pink, gathered around in the front of the office to wish me a happy day. The LCD monitors were personalized, there were pink balloons, string, ribbon, and table cloths all over the office. As I walked over to my desk, my favorite beverage was wrapped in pink with a singing card signed by every team member. The fun continued throughout the day; it was absolutely remarkable! The Sales by 5 team pulled together to make this a very special day for me.
This speaks volumes about the culture of our company, the level of respect that we maintain for each other, and the fun it is to work with people who care about you. Is the culture in your company great enough to be written about? If clients, the media, or your friends walked into your place of business, would it feel like Starbucks (an escape) or the dentist’s office (a requirement)?
