Having the right culture in your business is paramount to avoiding high turnover rates. One of the leading causes of an employee’s departure from a company boils down to the poor culture. It’s crucial that your workplace makes the employees feel comfortable. Many CEOs will say that they aim to have their workers want to come into work every day, but their actions or lack thereof tell a different story. Luckily, there are plenty of companies that still believe in providing a strong culture that employees appreciate. Let’s take a look at some of those companies.

FloQast

FloQast is a software vendor specializing in accounting. Part of what makes their workplace culture successful is transparency. The company’s co-founder and CEO, Mike Whitmire, says it’s crucial for management to clearly discuss what’s working and what isn’t within the company. One employee said that she was surprised by how transparent the interview process was. FloQast believes that having a culture where open discussions are always on the table can be an inclusive experience. Many times employees feel like a number or a spoke on the wheel. That isn’t the case if everyone is involved.

Nerdery

This is a tech company that gets it right when it comes to company culture. Jim Butts, a team manager at the company, says it’s vital for businesses to remember that their employees are human. Many times the workplace can feel like a drag simply because the human aspect is lost. Butts says Nerdery encourages workers to share personal passions as well as professional goals with each other. This creates trust amongst the employees, rather than hiding the human aspect. It has created a culture where workers are more comfortable opening up.

SecureLink

Oftentimes, companies are looking for workers with experience and education credentials. This isn’t the case with SecureLink. The company believes that personality and motivation outweigh past work or degrees and certifications. Jacob Venard is SecureLink’s Director of Customer Success and he shares his belief that this mindset has given the company a big advantage over the competition. This leads to workers who are passionate about their work and in turn, end up being more loyal to the company.
