Why should jobseekers care about a potential employer's corporate culture? Aren't there more important factors to consider, such as the job itself, salary and bonuses, and fringe benefits? These factors are indeed important, but increasingly career experts are talking about the importance of employee-employer fit in terms of culture, with the idea that how well the employee "fits" the culture can make the difference between job-search success and failure. What is corporate culture? At its most basic, it's described as the personality of an organization, or simply as "how things are done around here". It guides how employees think, act, and feel. Corporate culture is a broad term used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees. How does a company's culture affect you? In many, many ways. For instance: · The hours you work per day, per week, including options such as flextime and telecommuting. · The work environment, including how employees interact, the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun or hostile environment - or something in-between. · The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire* and things such as casual days. · The office space you get, including things such as cubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display of personal items. · The training and skills development you receive, which you need both on the job and to keep yourself marketable for future jobs and employers. · Onsite perks, such as break rooms, gyms and play rooms, daycare facilities, and more. · The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers. · Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management. How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer? The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview. If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as: · What's it really like to work here? · What skills and characteristics does the company value? · How do people get promoted around here? · The bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot of time in the work environment -and to be happy, successful and productive, youll want to be in a place where you fit the culture, a place where you can have a voice, be respect and have opportunity for growth. A：Pre-listening Question Many articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members". Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.
