6 Elements of Great Company
Cultures
• They Have Clear Mission and Values.
A clear mission and values are like the framework to
the structure of your organization's culture. You
need to know why you do what you do in order to
provide your teams with direction and support. 
• They Support Workplace Participation.
Encourage your team members to actively
participate in the workplace. Make sure your teams
know that their voice matters. Do your best to be
supportive of a workplace culture that values
participation and even rewards it.
• They Are Transparent.
Keeping secrets from your team or lying to them altogether is not a good idea.
You want to create a trusting environment. That means the workplace should
encourage open communication between colleagues, from leaders to
employees, and from employees to leaders.

• They Celebrate Individual and Team Wins.

Team members that feel appreciated will always do more than what is
expected. Companies that have great corporate cultures celebrate teams and
individuals who create wins for them.
• They Have Leaders Who Are Present and Accessible.
Leaders are supposed to do one main thing that their title
entails. They are supposed to lead. Leaders who are
present and accessible help guide their teams in the right
direction, and they show that they are there to help and
support anyone who needs it. 
• They Offer Ongoing Professional Development. 
One of the great killers of success for your employees and
your company is stagnation. Awesome company cultures
offer educational and advancement opportunities to their
teams so they can continue to grow and learn.
This, in turn, aids their productivity and helps to foster an
environment of growth and professional development.
