Commentary: When most people think about culture, they focus on perks and policies –  like dress code, the framed mission statement in the lobby and whether there are ping-pong tables in the office. But while these can be clues to a company’s culture, they don’t define it – and they certainly don’t create it. Instead, culture is the collective values, norms and beliefs of the organization – also known as “what it’s like to work here.” It’s the backdrop for everything that happens at your company and the day-to-day experience.
