It is a known fact that Google offers amazing and original services and opportunities to its employees such as, slides, free food, nap time, laundry service, free cars and time to innovate, but is this Google’s culture? Shannon Deegan, VP of HR said in a presentation to his peers “This is not really the Google culture. This is the cost of doing business in our market.” Meaning these features do not define Google’s culture but rather, embody their values and corporate culture. Google believes in treating their employees right and giving them opportunities to innovate and design brilliant ideas. Google tends to have a “work-life balance” culture and in order to sustain this culture they offer free services that allow employees to love their job which results in very low employee turnover and absenteeism. This means employees love going to work because it appeals to their values as well as the company’s. Google is known for its 20% time where employees must devote 20% of their time at work each week to innovating. This benefits the employees as it allows them to be creative and it benefits Google because they get new and potentially profitable ideas. This factor, as well as Google’s other services, embodies the company’s culture of “work-life balance” and innovation.
