Connecting workplace culture to benefits

This week, EBN looked at the world of corporate culture, offering tips, insights and suggestions to building a better workplace culture.

Laura Hamill, Limeade’s chief people officer, kicked off the discussion with a blog series about how to articulate culture, set expectations around it and educate people on how to live the organization’s culture. See: How to build an intentional culture.

Later, she delved into the importance of holding people accountable for workplace culture, setting metrics to make it happen, empowering culture champions and regularly communicating about your culture. See: How to build an intentional culture, part 2.

Lastly, Hamill finished her series with a post about reinforcing and maintaining the culture you’ve built. See: How to build an intentional culture, part 3.

In addition to Hamill’s insight, EBN’s Managing Editor Andrea Davis (@EBN_Andrea) spoke with several industry experts, who outlined why culture can be viewed as a benefit:
