“A company’s culture is the foundation for future innovation. An entrepreneur’s job is to build the foundation.”
-Brian Chesky, Co-founder and CEO of Airbnb
Culture defines output
In the world of travel accommodations, Airbnb is the top name of online booking platforms for the best and comfortable stays. Since its inception in 2009, this lively and vivid company has grown by 750% in just a decade and over 11 million users have stayed in their accommodations across the globe. If you take a look at the employees of Airbnb, everyone is the best performer and is bubbling with creativity and fun, working towards the shared mission. This is possible by the strong culture which has been built by their founders and which runs in all the employees’ minds, behaviour and actions equally. The living spaces of Airbnb are as bright, beautiful and creatively designed as their office spaces. Unless the Airbnb employees are at the peak of their comfort and do their best, how would it be possible to resonate the same in the guests and users of Airbnb platform?
Culture takes time
The culture of a company is the spirit of work and joy, which thrives in all employees, the way the work flows and how people enjoy their work life. It also reflects in the company’s branding and is at its strongest when all the employees live it up everyday which brings them in sync with the ideas and the vision of the organisation.
All of these cannot be achieved in just one day. For the founders of the organisation, it takes a lot of effort, perseverance and head hunting to develop and nurture the culture and have it instilled in all the members of the organisation with time. It is similar to the nurturing of a family which takes years to build with love and affection and the values which are strongly reflected in all the members and is a primary reason for them being closely-knit with each other.
Culture promises success
We cannot miss to notice the time-tested benefits of a solid company culture on the success of the organisation. If you closely observe all the top organisations and successful brands in the world today, the common thread you find among them is that of the vibrant and highly resonating company culture.
Though company culture has formed an integral part of organisations from back in time, say from the mid-nineties, another wave has taken over the business scenario in the modern times. This is the prevailing shift of businesses to adopt the workspaces which are mostly of shared and collaborative nature, commonly known as the “coworking spaces.”
Culture vs Coworking
Coworking spaces suit the best for freelancers and small teams, being economically viable for them and most convenient in all sorts. But when comes to growing startups and corporations who are futuristic and would not compromise in the smallest way for their rapid success, coworking spaces tend to limit and restrict their abilities.
Imagine the expert team of yours brimming with creativity and inspiration, but being restricted and diverted in the coworking space, their ideas not being worked upon to the maximum, the space not resonating the core values and culture of your company, everything leading to a hindrance in development? Would you like to encourage that in the long run?
Plan. Take action. Do not let the space limit your growth.
Final takeaway
The culture of a company cannot be developed by the founders and entrepreneurs in just one day. It needs to be mindfully planned for and nurtured with time. And considering the best talent you have in your company, you wouldn’t like to underutilize their potential too. The pro tip here is to look beyond coworking spaces for the best exposure and for your company values to actually work for you the way you’ve always wanted them to be. Shared office spaces somehow miss out on preserving and living up your brand and culture.
The most progressive organisations have uniquely designed workspaces with an atmosphere which is conducive to their success. They invest a lot of time and effort in their employee well-being and cannot miss out on letting the culture get diluted as they scale their growth. You, being one of them, cannot be left behind in the race of competition and growth.
