"When it comes down to the culture within your company, you really have to ask yourself a few things.

Would you work for you?

Would you buy from you?

Would you refer you?"

1. Prioritize employee satisfaction.

A company culture that prioritizes high employee satisfaction sets itself up for payoff in the form of higher employee motivation, lower turnover rates and increased productivity.

2. Attract quality employees.

Companies that focus on attracting high-quality employees can make themselves more attractive to job-seekers and capable of attracting top talent. And the high quality of a team itself can lead to an even more aligned and motivated workforce.

3. Champion customer satisfaction and loyalty.

A company culture that prioritizes customer service and satisfaction sets itself up for better chances of repeat business and a reputation for high customer loyalty.

4. Practice meaningful decision making.

A well-defined culture can also help to guide more meaningful decision making, ensuring that all a company's actions are aligned with the company's core values and goals.

5. Build a quality brand reputation.

Finally, a focus on building and maintaining a quality brand reputation can be essential when it comes to ensuring your company remains a desirable party to associate with in the eyes of partners, customers and investors.
