The CULT OF WORK @Bill BOORMAN
What IS CULTURE? My definition: The feeling people have about the company they work for that influences behaviour, performance and a sense of purpose and belonging
Some people work for companies whilst others feel a sense of Belonging. A part of the “cult”
Employment branding & Evp = what we want people to think we are
Employer brand = what we think our people think about working here
Theres no such thing as a bad culture, just a bad culture fit
