Every company either intentionally or unintentionally creates a culture amongst itself. From the CEO to the receptionist, a strong culture is cultivated relationally through respect, humility, and shared vision. This business culture is the engine and driving force behind the integrity of the brand. When your company culture and brand are aligned, the quality and efficiency of your company will thrive.
What does that all mean?
Well-built company culture starts with shared core values, attitudes, and goals. And studies have found that the brands they produce are extremely successful. They leave a real, lasting impression on those who invest in that brand. It is the internal culture merged with the external brand that shows the public the integrity and identity of your company.
Discuss what you want your company brand to represent. It is important to remember it is the culture you promote that will define your brand more than anything else. Come together and establish your shared primary beliefs, attitudes, and unique ideas. It is here that you will build this culture to best represent your brand. Your employees should have a clear understanding and commitment to those values and how to use them in any decision-making situation. Having these discussions often is essential for repeating these principles. Understanding your vision and values as an employee gives a strong sense of purpose and pride in how to better serve the client as an ambassador of your brand. Knowing you are appreciated by your employer at the same time brings a greater conviction of your company vision.
It can take some time to create the culture you desire. It starts from the top down. But by being intentional in this pursuit, it can only be the beginning of creating a very successful brand.
Culture and Brand–One defines the other with a lasting reputation.
