Company culture refers to the personality of a company. It defines the environment in which employees work. It includes a variety of elements, including work environment, company mission, value, ethics, expectations, and goals. It is also a critical factor for acquiring and retaining top talent. Additionally, good company culture can help your business succeed. It is important to ensure that the company is able to provide an impressive work environment for its employees through policies, engagements, and events.
