Picture this: a workforce that's jazzed up, productive, and has loyal employees vs the ones that's count down the seconds to escape. Talk about a dream culture! To avoid ending up with a workforce that only exists in your dreams, you've got to ask the right questions. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for the top 10 questions every CEO, COO, and HR professional should be asking about company culture!

1. Do Our Employees KNOW Our Mission & Are They CONNECTED To It?

Let's cut to the chase: does your workforce know what the heck your company's mission is, and how their role plays a part in making it come to life? It's like the secret ingredient to a killer culture cocktail, stirring up productivity, innovation, and loyalty. So, spill the beans and make sure everyone's sipping from the same culture cup!

2. Do Our Core Values Only Exist On The Walls Of Our Organization?

Alright, let's get real. Are your core values guiding your employees or gathering dust? They should be the guiding light of decision-making and create a sense of unity that would make even The Avengers jealous. Embody those values, and infuse them into every employee experience my friends!

3. Is Our Employee Recognition Program Just High-Fives and Fist Bumps?

Here's a plot twist: bonuses and gifts aren't the only ways to recognize and reward your employees. How about a little creativity? Public praise, personal development opportunities, or even a cape of increased responsibilities can make their day! Just don't forget the confetti cannons.

4. Retention Rate: Are Your Employees On Their Way Out Or Sticking Around?

Think of your retention rate as the ultimate "culture-o-meter." If your workforce is sticking around like magnets, it's a clear sign your culture is rockin'. But if people are leaving like it's a sinking ship, it's time for a culture shift.

5. Is Our Communication More Than Just Sending Memes in Slack?

Hey, hey, listen up! Clear communication is the lifeblood of a killer culture. You've got to create a safe space where problems are tackled head-on, information is shared like the latest gossip, and feedback flows like a river. It's like a corporate game of telephone, but with fewer misunderstandings and more high-fives.

6. Professional Development: Are We Transforming Employees into Rockstars?

You know what's cooler than a free lunch? Investing in your employees' professional development! Give them the chance to shine like supernovas and watch your culture sparkle. It's like sending them on a journey of growth, enlightenment, and maybe even a little karaoke.

7. Perks and Benefits: Are They More than Just Office Snacks and Foosball?

Forget about the ordinary, my friend! Spice up your perks and benefits game. Health benefits, gym memberships, and vacation policies would make Santa jealous. Let's make those employees' jaws drop, shall we?

8. Personality Styles: Do We Embrace the Assortment of Awesomeness?

It's time to bring out the confetti cannons again because understanding personality styles are the name of the culture game. Let's stay away from judgement and frustration and build a workforce that focuses on understanding and celebration. Embrace different perspectives, give them personality style training, and show everyone they belong.

9. Employee Satisfaction: Is Happiness Part Of Our Culture?

Think of employee satisfaction like a happiness meter. Are your employees grinning from ear to ear or constantly complaining and contemplating a career change? To gauge their satisfaction, try surveys or feedback systems, and find new ways to make happiness part of your culture.

10. Culture Action: Is It Time For a Culture Shift?

Lights, camera, action! It's time to take the stage and address those culture concerns head-on. Strengthen communication, address conflict, create development opportunities, or unleash the power of recognition programs. It's your chance to be the superhero leader your workforce needs and make your culture the talk of the town!
