The number one criteria for choosing a job?

A recent study by Glassdoor found that 65% of millennials now rank culture above salary when choosing where to work. 🤯

If ever you needed a compelling reason to start looking into your company culture, this is it. 💥

[The Future Kind Collective @futurekindco]

Who owns your company culture? Is it your CEO? Is it your Head of People? Is it your manager? Is it your co-worker? Is it you? 🧐

Answer: It's all of the above. ✅

Culture is the responsibility of your people team, culture is everybody's responsibility, regardless of role.

[The Future Kind Collective @futurekindco]

Why is it important to show people that you care?

It creates connection and belonging, and supports building psychological safety.

Showing you care gives talented people a reason to turn up to work with motivation & feel a connection with their roles.
