It’s About Culture: Debunking Common Office Culture Myths

Workplace culture is an important ingredient in every successful business. Establishing the right kind of culture gives your business an identity and helps your employees feel confident about their work. Read on as Metro Offices debunks some common myths about office space culture:

Myth: You Can Afford to Establish Culture Later

Creating a culture begins the very first day you start your business. The culture starts from the top and it trickles down to every single employee. If you don’t establish a clear culture, your business will likely suffer from lack of direction. It’s up to management to set the tone so that others within the company can follow suit.

Myth: Establishing Culture Is Expensive

While it is true that establishing workplace culture in your office space may cost money initially, it is a long-term investment that pays dividends. With time and effort, your people—your biggest asset—will reciprocate and give back to you. It’s all about setting the precedent and allowing the seeds of your culture to grow and bear fruit.

Myth: Culture Is All About Play

There is a time for work and there is a time for play. While some amount of recreational activity can help employees bond and improve morale, you also need to establish a culture of discipline and drive to ensure success.

Culture matters. The office is merely a location. Take it away and your company will still survive—if you have a strong culture.
