It\u2019s the values and beliefs that drive the business, it\u2019s the working environment, it\u2019s how your company appears to others and finally, it\u2019s what makes you appealing to potential new recruits.\n\nIn describing up your company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/employee-experience-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employee experience<\/a> and ethos in a few words, what words would your employees use? That\u2019s your culture right there.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31589 size-full\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/giphy-3-1.gif\" alt=\"A woman in a futuristic, armored suit is inside a spaceship with arms raised, asking with determination, &quot;Who are we?&quot; The background shows a dimly lit cockpit, adding intensity to the scene.\" width=\"480\" height=\"269\" \/>Why is company culture important?<\/h2>\nCompany culture permeates every part of a business. It dictates how employees interact with each other, how they work with customers and how the business itself performs. Here are a few examples of where a positive company culture can make a huge difference.\n<h3>Recruitment and employee retention<\/h3>\nCompanies that nurture a strong culture are far more likely to both <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/employee-value-proposition-evp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attract top talent<\/a>. A culture that is positive and exciting will translate into the company\u2019s broader reputation, making them appealing to top-tier candidates. Once part of an organisation with a strong company culture and great employee engagement, they are more inclined to stay with them for longer too.\n<h3>Productivity<\/h3>\nA solid company culture positively impacts productivity and company performance in two ways. Firstly, when employees feel supported and motivated, they are inclined to put in more effort and dedication into their work. Secondly, a culture that prioritises teamwork creates an environment that naturally enhances efficiency and productivity throughout the organisation. It helps the bottom line too \u2013 did you know that a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/workplace-culture-bundle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good company culture improves revenue up to four times over<\/a>?\n<h3>Growth<\/h3>\nThe key to a successful company culture lies in achieving &#8216;buy-in&#8217; from your employees. This means ensuring that they comprehensively grasp the company&#8217;s mission and are personally committed to transforming that mission into a tangible reality. Having a united team with one mission fosters growth and brings the company&#8217;s vision to life, making a strong culture crucial for organisational success.\n<h3>Wellbeing<\/h3>\nEveryone wants a job where they enjoy what they do and where they feel personally supported, and a good organisational culture can go a long way to making that happen. As an employer, it benefits you to focus on employee happiness, not just in terms of their productivity but to ensure they don\u2019t want to leave the business. In fact, employees who rated their employer\u2019s commitment to wellness as good or excellent were <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/wellness-at-work-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">75% more likely<\/a> to say they were loyal to a business.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/DiligentYawningCottonmouth-max-1mb-1.gif\" alt=\"Two men in suits engage in a light-hearted handshake, smiling and pointing at each other as they exchange a friendly gesture in an office setting\" width=\"280\" height=\"185\" \/>\n<h2>How do company values come into play?<\/h2>\nCompany values are a key part of fostering a business culture. Create values that encourage the kind of behaviour and atmosphere you want in your company\u2019s culture.\n\nDo you want a high performance team? Create a value that emphasises the importance of striving for the best outcome. Are you wanting a team environment where everyone supports each other? Create a value that highlights how everyone should work together as a team.\n\nDon\u2019t forget that there\u2019s more to creating company values than just coming up with five or so statements. Embed those values throughout your company through these methods:\n<h3>Make the values visible<\/h3>\nHave each value clearly displayed in your workplace and ensure they\u2019re at the forefront of your mind when deciding on new objectives or goals for the year. Communicate them across the company and make them the centre of your strategy.\n<h3>Merch it up!<\/h3>\nDesign some new merchandise with your values printed on it and share it amongst your team members. Everyone loves some new merch (new tee or socks, anyone?), and you\u2019ll be reinforcing those values every time they use it.\n<h3>Celebrate values in action<\/h3>\nAnother way to embed the values into your culture is to hold annual awards whereby winners are based on how they\u2019ve lived and breathed your company values. The prize could be a nice dinner, a weekend away, or even an overseas trip!\n\nBy <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recognising and rewarding employees<\/a> when they go above and beyond, you\u2019re reinforcing a culture of high performance, making your company more productive and profitable.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31593 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/unnamed-file-1.gif\" alt=\"A group of excited people are celebrating with confetti flying in the air, cheering and shouting in a hallway.

Here\u2019s a few of our favourites\u2026\n<h3>Zoom<\/h3>\nZoom is a video and audio conferencing app, facilitating collaboration, chat, and webinars. They\u2019ve introduced a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/11\/03\/zoom-has-the-happiest-employees-of-2020heres-why.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">happiness crew<\/a>&#8221; which sustains Zoom\u2019s culture across locations through events, celebrations, community involvement, and volunteering. This crew organised things such as team-based volunteering for local causes like the Special Olympics, Denver Food for Thought, and Habitat for Humanity.\n\nNew hires also globally participate in a San Jose training session to cultivate relationships, comprehend the company&#8217;s culture, and prepare for their roles. Paired with existing team members acting as mentors upon starting, these employees gain insights into company culture and outreach.\n<h3>Nerdery<\/h3>\nNerdery, a digital consultancy, serves mid to large-sized clients in healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. Nerdery <a href=\"https:\/\/ericchester.com\/when-it-comes-to-a-compelling-workplace-culture-these-nerds-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pride themselves<\/a> on having team members with varied backgrounds and celebrating each person&#8217;s passions and interests. The company embraces the concept of &#8220;culture add,&#8221; where each individual&#8217;s uniqueness is celebrated.\n\nFor example, work-life balance is promoted through encouraging time for personal passions, and even promotions are marked by creative videos reflecting employees&#8217; hobbies and personalities.\n<h3>ServiceNow<\/h3>\nServiceNow is a cloud-based platform that streamlines workflows, project management, and collaboration for businesses. Despite its size, ServiceNow <a href=\"https:\/\/erp.today\/inside-servicenows-award-winning-employee-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">places high value<\/a> on individual contributions to its corporate culture, encouraging everyone to contribute ideas and lead initiatives related to culture, diversity, and inclusion.\n\nThe company has created workplace traditions, including team outings like karaoke, bowling, and baseball games to integrate new employees. They also embrace their customers, handing out celebratory cakes for new customer launches.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31588 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/salem-cake-1.gif\" alt=\"A black cat is sitting at a table with a plate of cake, happily eating it.

The text &quot;IT'S CAKE DAY&quot; appears in the image, emphasizing the celebration of cake day.\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/>\n<h2>What about 91±¬ΑΟ&#8217;s company culture?<\/h2>\nAt 91±¬ΑΟ, we\u2019re really proud of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our company culture<\/a> and have worked hard to maintain a fun and happy place to work, even as we\u2019ve scaled dramatically since our inception. Everything we do is based on five values:\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">We serve<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">We are one team<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">We are bold and ambitious<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">We invent<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Own it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEveryone is encouraged to be open with each other, supportive and to innovate where we see opportunity.

Importantly for a distributed team as well, we also organise local and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/global-gathering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">global gatherings<\/a>, so we can all meet up in person and celebrate our wins.\n\nWe know our product is designed to support businesses in creating great cultures and supporting their employees. That\u2019s why we do our best to walk the walk too!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/teamwork-power-rangers-superteam-f4c8qa01m3uf5ok4-1.gif\" alt=\"A group of Power Rangers, each in their respective colored suits (blue, red, black, yellow), is seen posing heroically in unison.

We\u2019ve got a few to get you started and inspired\u2026\n<h3>Define and set a vision for your company&#8217;s culture<\/h3>\nA vision inspires action, and pulls in ideas, people and other resources. The reason this is important is that a vision helps you capture what the company wants to become and where it wants to go. It enables the organisation to focus on what is important to the business, especially in stressful times and when working on complex projects.\n<h3>Hire candidates aligned with your corporate culture<\/h3>\nBeing fanatical with your hiring processes is the key to company culture success. Values offer a set of guidelines on the behaviours and mindsets needed to achieve the company\u2019s vision. If you find employees who are aligned with the company\u2019s values, they\u2019re likely to enjoy their work more. This means organisations save costs on reduced employee turnover and increase in their employee productivity.\n<h3>Recognise and reward valuable contributions<\/h3>\nEmployee recognition lets employees know that their hard work is valued. It doesn\u2019t have to cost anything, it can be done in less than five minutes and the results can have a lasting impact. Recognising employees can improve morale, enhance loyalty, and let employees know that their work is valued and appreciated.\n<h3>Utilise technology to win the day<\/h3>\nHR software isn\u2019t just about logging leave and checking employee details \u2013 the best HR software comes with <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employee engagement features<\/a>, so you can foster a strong culture and great feedback loops.\n\nThat includes creating <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">key objectives and key results<\/a> that align with the values you set, shouting out great work across the company and sending out regular surveys to check how your employees are feeling about their roles.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31210 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/leo-fitz-technology-n6d9za40hdxnydj7-1.gif\" alt=\"A person stands in front of a futuristic holographic interface, manipulating various glowing diagrams and technical schematics projected into the air. The scene suggests advanced technology or scientific research.\" width=\"895\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<h2>Showcasing your company culture<\/h2>\nNow you\u2019ve transformed your company culture into something inspired \u2013 it\u2019s time to show it off. We\u2019ve compiled this list of three simple ways you can showcase your company culture on social media. These tips are easy to execute and will help get your business get started when it comes to sharing your company culture online.\n<h3>1. Share pictures of your workspace and company culture<\/h3>\nEveryone loves a bit of behind-the-scenes footage, from customers to prospective candidates. Taking and sharing a picture of your workspace (with or without humans) is an easy way to give your followers more insight into your company.\n\nWe understand not everyone has a glamorous working space. For example, if your business is new and showcasing a smaller workspace will undermine the image you are portraying online, skip this tip. There are plenty of other ways to showcase your work culture online.\n<h3>2. Promote celebrations and events<\/h3>\nWe all enjoy celebrating with our teams. Whether it\u2019s a lucrative new partnership or a huge win at an awards night, there might just be a celebratory event on your horizon. These moments are perfect for sharing on social media. They show prospective employees that you <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/employee-reward-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reward and recognise<\/a> your staff and sneakily promote whatever it is you are celebrating.\n<h3>3. Introduce your employees and highlight what makes your company unique<\/h3>\nDoes your company have a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/flexible-working-policy-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flexible work policy<\/a>? Have you followed in Netflix and Virgin\u2019s footsteps and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/craig-bloem\/netflix-and-virgin-both-have-unlimited-vacation-po.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> implemented an unlimited vacation policy<\/a>? Do you have a system of pursuing and tracking targets that are a little quirky and different from the norm?\n\nThink about everything that makes your company unique (and beloved by staff) and then communicate this on social media.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31592 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/200-1.gif\" alt=\"Paul Rudd smiling and gesturing while saying, &quot;Hey, look at us...&quot; suggesting surprise or pride in how well things have turned out.\" width=\"356\" height=\"200\" \/>\n<h3>How do you measure workplace culture?<\/h3>\nThe easiest way to measure a healthy culture is to speak to your team! Get their perspective of their life at work and how they find working for the company. Ask them if your company values truly reflect their experience and what you can do to make things even better.\n\nOne really easy way to do this is through <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/#happy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regular surveys<\/a>. Not only will your team feel empowered to give their perspective, but you\u2019ll amass data over a time period that allows you to improve company culture over time.\n\nUsing HR software like 91±¬ΑΟ can be an effective way to set up recurring surveys, whether it\u2019s our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/#happy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employee Happiness Survey<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/employment-hero-surveys-happiness-score\/\">custom survey<\/a> that includes questions specific to your company. Even better, all the responses will be stored on the 91±¬ΑΟ platform, so you can ditch those Excel spreadsheets.\n<h2>Get the blueprints to building a healthy company culture<\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re ready to build a great company culture that motivates and inspires their team and customers, we\u2019ve got the resource for you. <strong>Download the form on the right to download our guide.\u00a0<\/strong>\n\nLooking for more resources on company culture?
