We all know of Google in various ways, some as a last minute homework aid, others as a form of entertainment as the design switches from season to season.   Either way, Google has become an internationally known booming company that has provided platforms to many starting companies and businesses.  However, what is it that makes a company such as Google so successful?

Organizational culture.  Believe it or not, but even within a room full of computers and technicalities, there lies a strong culture.  At Google, the skill of an individual is valued higher than past experience.  Despite having the same goals for the company, each employee comes from diverse backgrounds, resulting in greater creativity.  Executives of Google ensure that employees feel comfortable in directly speaking to higher rankings and are accessible when approaching with a new innovation.

From past experience, the work environment and culture does play a large role in job satisfaction and ultimately the effectiveness of the company.  Being unhappy and intimidated within a workforce will promote reluctance to achieve goals and ultimately harm the company due to its inefficiency.  Maintaining a strong culture and employees who whole-heartedly believe in the company’s values will definitely lead to success!
