Googling the Google Culture
by alicexwo
I’ve recently taken an interest to unique company cultures after reading about Zappos. I decided to do some further digging into Google’s reputable organizational culture. It is within their mission to create a diverse team in terms of ethnicity, culture, and sexual orientation. Despite their large company size, they try to maintain a relatively flat and decentralized hierarchical structure. They have meetings where they can communicate directly with the CEOs and express their concerns. Google states their “offices and cafes are designed to encourage interactions between Google’s within and across teams, and to spark conversation about work as well as play.” The workspace is also designed to be comfortable, innovative, and welcoming (refer to photos below). Additionally, Google has a list of ’10 commandments’ that act their pillars of values and beliefs.
Google working atmosphere is employee friendly
The work atmosphere, team dynamics, and employer-employee relationships define a company, encourages productivity, increases employer turnover, and creates a unified work force. With this type of structure, Google has become one of the most desirable employers. By respecting the workers and providing them with benefits and accommodations, they become more focused and motivated to work. Google’s positive results is proof as to why companies should invest in human resources to develop an organizational culture.
