How To Create A Sustainable Culture For Your Startup

When small companies and startups are growing, the administrative procedures and processes are about to change. The hierarchy inevitably grows and the creating of a sustainable culture is something that should not happen by chance.

For a good culture within the company a straight strategy and strong leadership by the senior management (the founder) is required. But founders are mostly not fit in these special soft skills. Various trainings in this area can help them though. We take a look at one of the latest courses for you.

Studies show that the attitude of people on the subject of work is beginning to change, and thus the claims that are made on the employer. More and more businesses are realizing how important it is to use internal programs for the recruitment and retention of employees. Exemplify a trend, the young, dynamic companies such as Google and coming from America to Europe, called “Feel-Good management”. The feeling of appreciation and the impression that those employers endeavor is essential for employees, sometimes even more important than the salary. Many companies have recognized this and want to offer their employees something that makes them much more attractive than the competitors and to keep those who run the company. This needs much more than „toys” everywhere, chill out areas with cozy armchairs and a fitness studio in the office!

The job description for the expert of corporate culture is very diverse and varied. Your task is to bring the goals of corporate management in harmony with the corporate culture and to promote a positive corporate culture, so that the mission statement is actually lived. They see themselves as „promoters of culture” in the company and they´re implementing recruiting and onboarding processes for new employees and take care of colleagues who come from abroad. You are considering measures to improve the communication channels and processes in the company, and are also responsible for internal communications.
