What do we even mean by “company culture"?

Is it possible to have one culture where everyone belongs? The reality is often more complex:
⏺ Culture isn't monolithic—it's a patchwork, especially in larger organizations.
⏺ The loudest voices often define perceived culture, which can overlook diverse perspectives.
⏺ Perhaps the goal isn't just “good company culture”, but a space where multiple cultures thrive - where authenticity is uniqueness is embraced.

Want actionable steps? Start by talking to - and listening to - your people. Seek out diverse viewpoints. The road to understanding culture begins with conversations from those who are driving it. These may not be the leaders in your organization, but they’re likely the connectors, the managers, the front line team members, the ERG members.

Ready to go deeper? A thorough cultural assessment can reveal blind spots and hidden obstacles. Are aspects of your current company culture silently hindering success and inclusion? Are there invisible barriers to trust and belonging? Confronting these realities will open doors to meaningful change and innovation.
