• A culture is the values and practices shared by the members of the group. Company Culture, therefore, is the shared values and practices of the company's employees.Company culture is important because it can make or break your company. Companies with an adaptive culture that is aligned to their business goals routinely outperform their competitors. Some studies report the difference at 200% or more.

Company cultures evolve and they change over time. As employee leave the company and replacements are hired the company culture will change.

The changes in company culture may be intended, but often they are unintended. They may be major changes or minor ones. The company culture will change and it is important to be aware of the changes.
