I strongly agree the point in the blog that a company’s culture is very important. I happen to have COMM292 class this semester, and yes, it is important.
In the original blog Yukang mentioned two reasons to support his idea. I think those reasons are appropriate so I am just going to simply add some more reasons.
Organization culture is the underlying values, expectations and beliefs of the company. It shows the consistency of employees’ behavior and it gives the outsiders the general impress of the company. Our professor showed a video about Southwest, a flight attendant rapped the safety briefing on the airplane. After watching that video a lot of my friends and I start to take a Southwest flight. So it can help the organizations gain profit.
Also, organization culture inspires the employees. Companies like Google are very open and risk-taking, which give their employees enough space to create.
In brief, organization culture is very important. People must know the company’s culture carefully before they join.
