POV: When you realize their company culture is just pizza Fridays... 🍕🙃 We’ve all seen it—those “cultures” that try to win hearts with free food, flashy perks, or a table tennis tournament in the breakroom. While these might bring a momentary smile, they won’t inspire a deep connection, loyalty, or the behaviors that truly drive success. Here’s the hard truth: Company culture isn’t just a vibe. It’s also a specific strategy. I call it the 'strategic company culture' and it goes well beyond gimmicks. ✨ It’s the why of your organization brought to life—its personality, its guiding traits, and its behavioral expectations. A powerful strategic culture reflects the company’s mission, purpose and values as behavioral characteristics setting the tone for how work gets done and how success is achieved, both individually and collectively. ✨ Your Organization Person gets their goals and objectives from the business strategy making the strategic aims and emphasis' a significantly more transparent to your staff at all levels of the organization. When culture is done right, it becomes a magnetic force aligning people with shared values and a clear purpose, shaping how your people think, act, and create value for your customers, each other and your business. My upcoming book, "The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️: Business Storytelling to Match Minds with Mission", dives deep into how to align culture with purpose to attract, retain, and inspire talent while setting your business apart. Drop a comment if you’ve ever experienced a “pizza-Friday culture”! 🍕👇 And let’s talk about how we can aim higher. Your company deserves more, and so do your people and customers! Susanna xo
