As a company, practising what you preach is not a piece of cake. Defining what you stand for is not difficult to do. However, putting these values into practice to create a reliable work environment is a challenge. While it can demand substantial resources and energy from everyone in the company to actually live its cultural values, the benefits far outweigh the potential risks of not doing so. #WorkCulture #HappynessAtWork #EmployeeSurveys #HRInsights #EmployeeEngagement
