The National Day Archives has designated September as Global Company Culture Month. September 18th was selected as Company Culture Day.
Global Company Culture Day
Company Culture Day is a Day for companies to focus on the importance of getting their company culture right. Thereby creating a vibrant workplace where people will thrive, get excited to come to work, and perform at their peak. It spotlights the fundamental nature that company culture plays in maximizing productivity, profitability, and people loving their work.
Company culture is the most crucial business conversation happening all over the globe. Companies are struggling to understand and create how the world of work needs to change to make it a better place for all. There is a direct correlation between only 16% of Executives saying their company culture is where it needs to be and the fact that only 15% of employees are engaged worldwide. We want to fix this by drawing attention to it.
