Does the culture of your current work environment reflect your personal core values? Are you fulfilled with what you’re currently doing and feel like your company is making a difference?

The impact of a company culture has lasting effects, not only on its employees but also on the reputation of the company. When many people think of the makeup of a company culture, they might take into account aspects such as a dress code, working hours, work/life balance or benefits. But the real heartbeat of the culture is its people.

A company culture is comprised of the shared values, attitudes and character that define an organization.
