Gut-Check Questions To Ask On A Regular Basis

• Can everyone recite our mission and vision and provide genuine personal interpretation?
• Are our values invoked on regular discussions? Are they actionable? Am I passing the test?
• Do exit interviews/Glassdoor/new hire feedback reaffirm that employees are both challenged and empowered?
• Does our culture fit our true personality, or does is it feel inauthentic?
• Does a typical meeting include a heterogeneous set of backgrounds and perspectives?
• Can everyone describe the company’s overarching goals and progress toward those?

If you can answer each of these with an honest and firm yes, then you are on track to building a robust, lasting culture.
