Recommendation

The company you want to work for is profitable. It dominates its competitors. Customers love its products. There’s just one problem: The organization’s culture is a disaster. Its employees hate their jobs, and that’s how you’ll feel if you go to work there. If you don’t learn about the firm’s culture before accepting a position, you could be in for a nasty surprise. Organizational culture consultant Sheila L. Margolis, head of the Workplace Culture Institute, teaches you how to decipher the culture of a firm before you become its newest employee. Her succinct guide includes handy worksheets and “maps” to help you codify your purpose and principles, diagnose a prospective company’s culture and determine if you can flourish there. getAbstract recommends Margolis’ step-by-step, easy to follow workbook to all job applicants and to HR managers seeking to understand their company’s culture in greater depth.

Take-Aways

  • Research the culture of a firm before you join it to ensure you’ll fit in and be happy.
  • Companies want to hire applicants who fit their culture and share their values.
  • Employees who align with an organization’s culture make the quickest impact, do better work and stay employed longer.

    1. Very informative and applicable
    2. Unserstand yourself is the most important thing, I think, and it's almost in every aspect of your life. Also the tricky part is it's not easy. But for job seeking, we can narrow the scope related to job only.

    I have been through a job where there was a personal culture clash. Id be interested in hearing how to negotiate through this if leaving isn't an option.
