Startup Funding Espresso – Best Practices for Building a Company Culture

Best Practices for Building a Company Culture Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In building your company culture consider these best practices: Measure your company culture -- review indicators that show how the company culture is performing such as employee engagement. Create rituals -- establish activities you repeat consistently throughout the year to foster employee engagement and have fun. Storytelling -- use stories to share experiences and create a common history with the employees. Demonstrate the values -- employees look at what you do for guidance and not just what you say. Embrace the paradox of the startup world -- early-stage companies have tremendous work to do but with limited resources. Focus on what is right not who is right -- there are many decisions to be made in a business environment so focus on fostering better decision-making. Promote fairness -- make sure each decision is fair to all involved. Involve others in decision-making -- give others the opportunity to weigh in on the discussion and use their input. Build skills -- encourage the development of the employees through developing new skills. Consider adding these steps to your company program to build a better culture.
