Introduction A company's culture is described as the personality of an organization. It guides how employees think, act, and feel at work. Research has shown that great workplaces have lower voluntary employee turnover than their competitors, are able to recruit the best employees, provide top quality customer service and create innovative products. We will discuss the importance of employee-employer culture fit on job satisfaction. You will learn to evaluate how well you fit your company’s culture and how this affects your career growth.

- A company's culture is described as the personality of an organization. It guides how employees think, act, and feel at work. It is the collective way we do things within an organization. It is an area that is not always fully understood by many cross-functional managersand is not optimally utilized either in an organization.

- In their March 19, 2012 issue, FORTUNE magazine named the 50 most admired companies. The Most Admired list is the definitive report card on corporate reputations. Our survey partners at Hay Group started with approximately 1,400 companies: the Fortune 1,000 (the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue), non-U.S. companies in Fortune’s Global 500 database with revenue of $10 billion or more, and the top foreign companies operating in the U.S.They then sorted the companies by industry and selected the 15 largest for each international industry and the 10 largest for each U.S. industry. A total of 698 companies from 32 countries were surveyed. (Due to an insufficient response rate, the results for 11 companies in the scientific, photographic, and control equipment industry were not published. In addition, due to the distribution of responses, only the aggregate scores and ranks for the 10 companies in the oil and gas equipment/services industry were published.) To create the 58 industry lists, Hay asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate companies in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment value to social responsibility. This year only the best are listed in the magazine: A company's score must rank in the top half of its industry survey. Online, all companies' results are displayed. To arrive at the top 50 Most Admired Companies overall, the Hay Group asked 3,855 executives, directors, and securities analysts who had responded to the industry surveys to select the 10 companies they admired most. They chose from a list made up of the companies that ranked in the top 25% in last year's surveys, plus those that finished in the top 20% of their industry. Anyone could vote for any company in any industry. The difference in the voting rolls is why some results can seem anomalous -- for example, although FedEx is one of the top 10 Most Admired Companies, it is second in the Delivery industry behind top-ranked UPS, which ranked 29th on the top 50 overall.

- Hard Factors:Strategy: A set of actions that you start with and must maintainStructure: How people and tasks / work are organisedSystems: All the processes and information flows that link the organisation together"Hard" elements are easier to define or identify and management can directly influence them: These are strategy statements; organization charts and reporting lines; and formal processes and IT systems.
- Soft Factors:Shared Values: the values and beliefs of the company that shapes the destiny of the organisationStaff: How you develop managers (current and future)Skills: Dominant attributes or capabilities that exist in the organisationStyle:How managers behave"Soft" elements, on the other hand, can be more difficult to describe, and are less tangible and more influenced by culture. However, these soft elements are as important as the hard elements if the organization is going to be successful.
- Shared values of the organization are expressed in its management practices.
- Shared values are the core values of the company. They are evidenced in the corporate culture and the general work ethic.
