Author: TriStarr
One way TriStarr Staffing helps our clients is by finding candidates who truly align with the client’s corporate culture. Why is this so important? Because company culture is the intangible center and foundation of every organization. It drives employee engagement, innovation, retention, and long-term success. It reflects the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors that define how people work together and interact with customers. Companies with strong, positive cultures foster environments where creativity thrives and individuals feel motivated to contribute their best.
Understanding and intentionally shaping company culture has become a strategic priority for leaders aiming to build resilient, adaptable, and high-performing teams in today’s competitive business landscape. TriStarr Staffing understands that part of building these teams is hiring people who will thrive in, and positively contribute to, our clients’ corporate culture from day one.
According to The Leader’s Guide to Corporate Culture from the Harvard Business Review, a company’s success is defined by strategy and culture. Strategy provides a focus and a framework, orienting the team to an overarching goal.
In their Competing Values Framework, Kim S. Cameron and Robert E. Quinn define four types of organizational culture: clan, adhocracy, hierarchy, and market.
- Clan cultures value collaboration and focuses internally on employee development.
- Adhocracy cultures promote innovation, problem-solving, and adaptability.
- Hierarchy cultures rely on structure to maintain efficiency and control.
- Market cultures strive to be high-performing and competitive.
Workplace culture reflects a company’s shared beliefs and values, which align to its organizational culture. A positive workplace culture is one where employees feel trusted, safe, and valued. There is a strong sense of belonging and accountability by employees and leadership. Characteristics of a positive workplace culture include:
- Transparency and clear communication
- Employee empowerment and autonomy
- Respect, honesty and fairness
- Opportunities for growth and development
- Diversity and inclusion
- Recognition and rewards
- Clear purpose
Recent research from Gallup shows that only 2 out of 10 U.S. employees feel connected to their company culture. Furthermore, employees’ feelings of detachment align with how they believe their teammates and managers contribute to their organization’s culture, Gallup found.
When a company’s workforce is aligned to its culture, top talent is retained and engagement and productivity increase. That’s why the hiring process is a critical step in shaping a cohesive company culture. Choosing employees that work well within a company’s organizational style and work environment begins with recruiting top candidates.
