A corporation’s organizational culture plays a fundamental role in its success. Google Inc. is a company that can certainly demonstrate this idea. By having such a swift and reliable search engine on the web, Google must be doing something right with their employees to accomplish such a feat.  When it comes to maintaining employee satisfaction, Google seems to spare no expense. The organization supplies workers with multitude of benefits and provides them with “an extremely relaxed workplace that encourages creativity through fun activities” that involve teamwork. This emphasis on team achievements contributes to the overall success of the company and also forms a sense of family-bond in the workplace. Additionally, Google also provide workers with chef-prepared food, a gym with state-of-the-art equipment, haircuts, dry-cleaning, free on-site doctor and dentist, and free high-tech shuttle busses.

One may not see the significance the role of organizational culture plays in attracting the best talent in the industry because of the high cost. However, as we can see from the chart of Google’s growing annual revenue shown below, it is certain that having a corporation with an exceptional organizational culture will give them competitive advantage/edge over other companies. Overall, by giving employees an environment that they’d love to work in, this will definitely motivate them  to work harder, and eventually raise the total success of the company.
