\u201cCompany culture\u201d can seem like a pretty intangible thing, especially when you\u2019re thinking about your first job. You might not have the experience to know what actually makes it more than just an HR slogan.<\/p>\n
Company culture is made up of the tangible experiences you have working there\u2014and it couldn\u2019t be more important.<\/p>\n
Using Dell\u2014an industry leader in company culture\u2014as an example, here are four signs that show a company is serious about its culture.<\/p>\n
Maintaining the balance between your work and your personal life is extremely important for your health, job performance, and overall satisfaction. Plenty of companies understand that happy employees are good employees, and few things make people happier than being able to have a rich life in and outside of the office.<\/p>\n
But it has to be more than just expressing a commitment.<\/p>\n
At Dell, if you work at any of the tech giant\u2019s offices around the world, there are a ton of options with regards to scheduling your work. Some employees work from home for all or part of the week to cut down on commuting and inefficiency. Other employees work the same amount of hours in four days each week (instead of five).<\/p>\n
Dell aims to have 50 percent of their workforce on flexible schedules by 2020<\/a><\/u>. That\u2019s the kind of proof you should be looking for when it comes to understanding work\/life balance at a company.<\/p>\n#2: Genuine Commitment To Diversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n
