To figure out your team’s values, have your team create a list of what they believe is important to the team. Narrow the list down to no more than 6 core values. Be explicit about what behaviors you expect from each of those values. When interviewing, ask the interviewee to tell a story about when they exemplified one of your team’s core behaviors. Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper to understand their story, the context and their approach to the value. The more vivid and believable the story, the more the candidate lives those values. Use the job description, interview process, and onboarding as a way to educate the candidate on your team culture and values. Start onboarding a new hire 30 days before their start date. Send a series of emails and videos that start to build trust and relationships with the new hire’s team mates before he begins working. We don’t need to be in person to communicate our values. Use opportunities such as team meetings to demonstrate your values in action, by showcasing stories of team members exemplifying a team value.

Organizational culture is built deliberately and differently in top performing remote companies. In this episode, we interviewed Brett Putter, author, culture expert and CEO of CultureGene. Brett shares with us details into his research for his most recent book, Own Your Culture: How to Define, Embed and Manage your Company Culture. Brett researched 50 CEOs of startup and high-growth companies with top performing cultures. These CEO’s are skilled in clearly defining their culture, mission, vision, and values, and actively recruit new employees for a fit with the values of the company. They are also able to explain how their leadership team has a framework for making decisions based on organizational culture. The leadership teams embed this framework into their processes. In-Office CultureCommunicationIn-office cultures depend more on synchronous communication (i.e. in-person meetings, phone calls). Synchronous communication requires presence and availability which is easier to achieve when the entire staff is in the office. The dynamic of being in the same place allows the culture to develop by default. With in-office cultures, leaders could afford to be lazy in building the culture because of the osmosis that happens between people. In-office culture occurs naturally in break rooms, walking down hallways and during random points of contact. This feeling of connection and being in the loop is often a huge challenge in remote cultures. ProcessesIn-office cultures also depend less on having written processes. According to Brett’s research in-office culture had between 20%-40% of their processes defined and written down. It’s easier to touch base with someone and ask questions about processes in the office.Remote CultureCommunicationSuccessful remote cultures depend more on asynchronous communication, (i.e. company handbooks, forums, collaborative documentation, project management tools, video messages, etc). Remote companies design and build their company around asynchronous communication.How to Maximize Asynchronous Communication - Overcome Zoom FatigueProcessesRemote companies depend more on written processes than their in-office counterparts. The most successful remote companies have a working document or company handbook for processes and use them regularly. Virtual Meetings IdeasWhen it comes to leading virtual meetings, the most successful companies have a working document for how to prepare for and run meetings that includes pre-work. This pre-work includes a structured agenda, deciding who should be in the meeting, and asking those in the meeting to complete tasks before the meeting as well. Many companies explain that meeting participants have to respond to this working document and do the pre-work or they should not show up to the meeting. The pre-work becomes an extremely important element to maximizing time spent on a Zoom call.Cultural ValuesThe CEO’s that Brett researched were able to go into detail around how they structured initiatives around their cultural values. Most of the CEO’s also had implemented specific times when they re-evaluated their values. When one of those companies would lose a VP-level leader or higher, the companies were able to explain specifically how this person was or was not performing compared to the values of the company.

Bretton Putter is the CEO of CultureGene and he helps companies build and develop strong, functional company cultures. He recently published his second book, Own Your Culture, and in this episode, we talk about what to think about and what to do (asap!) to create a thriving culture in the world of remote or hybrid work. Brett shares plenty of actionable insights and examples of practices you can implement to adapt to this new way of working.
When you join a new company, you enter into two contracts. The obvious one is the signed employment agreement that outlines your salary, benefits, and the like. The other contract is the implicit agreement that exists between you and your employer. Few people work for what’s in the signed contract. They show up at work each day because of how it feels to be there, what they enjoy about their work, and how much opportunity they have to grow. In other words, they come because of the culture, not their paycheck. Bretton Putter has been observing implicit contracts and how they’re upheld across companies of varying sizes and industries. Unfortunately over the past year, many of these contracts have been broken. In particular, those companies building cultures based on physical offices and tangible perks, have struggled to keep their implicit contracts in one piece. In this episode of People at Work, Bretton talks about what to do if you’ve been caught swimming naked as the tide recedes (paraphrasing Warren Buffett). This is a conversation to prepare us for what lies ahead in the re-framed world of work and those implicit contracts that need repairing. Naked swimmers, now’s the time to get a wetsuit. About our guest: Bretton is an expert on company culture development. He’s the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a company culture development company helping companies build strong, functional cultures while transitioning to a remote or hybrid work model. Bretton has written two books on the subject of company culture. Culture Decks Decoded was published in 2018 and Own Your Culture: How to Define, Embed and Manage your Company Culture was published in September 2020.

On Episode 53, we hear the story of Brett Putter, the CEO of CultureGene.ai and author of two books, Own Your Culture & Culture Decks Decoded. In this discussion, Brett and I talk about the tidal change that has come to how we work and collaborate in a hybrid and remote first world and the importance of values and human centered design when thinking about corporate culture. This is a fascinating discussion and a must listen for leaders navigating the tides of change in today's digital world. Enjoy the discussion.

Today we’re talking about culture! How do you maintain culture when you’re working from home? Today’s guest knows how to navigate this delicate space and has some answers for you! It’s not as difficult as you think it might be! Brett Putter is an expert in company culture development who is consulted by companies and leaders worldwide to help design, develop, and build high-performing cultures. He is the CEO of CultureGene, a culture leadership software and services platform. Brett is also the author of his second book, Own Your Culture, a blueprint to building strong, functional post-pandemic company culture. Brett was running an executive search firm and a common theme he found in his high-level executives was that they had a very deep and strong understanding on the value of culture. It was the key difference between having a high retention rate vs. losing ¾ of your leadership team. A common problem with creating values is that it ends up just being words that people forget or don’t know how to live by. You want to teach your people what it looks like on an organizational level to live and work within your company values. A good leader has a keen eye on seeing when their staff is acting within the company values, and if they’re not, quickly reacting to correct bad behavior. Other members of your team are watching you, so it’s important that you lead by example.

A podcast about work, the future and how they will go together
Guest: Bretton (Brett) Putter is an expert in company culture development who is consulted by companies and leaders worldwide to help design, develop and build high-performing cultures. Company culture can be a fairly murky concept. Roughly defined as ‘how we do things' it should be reflection of company values and it should be well-communicated to workers, but that is often not the case. Now, coming out of the pandemic, will we see a focus on creating a positive culture? How will that work when many companies continue to allow remote work? And what will it all mean for the future of work? To talk about it we are joined by Brett Putter, CEO of CultureGene. He is on the front lines of company culture in both Europe and North America and he has some strong views on what is happening and what needs to happen next. Guest: Brett Putter CEO, CultureGene He is the CEO of CultureGene, a culture leadership software and services platform.

If you have ambitions to scale your recruiting and staffing business, then developing your company culture needs to be one of your top priorities. On The Resilient Recruiter podcast, I've interviewed many founders of fast-growing recruitment companies and they all agree on the importance of creating the right culture. But what does that really mean and how do we achieve it? “Nine out of ten companies do not have a strong functional culture.” My special guest, Bretton Putter of CultureGene explains what makes a company culture strong and functional and why it should matter to you as a recruitment business owner. Brett also explains how to address a degrading company culture environment, especially in this challenging time of the pandemic where most employees are forced to work remotely. Brett is an expert on company culture development. He is the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a Culture Leadership Platform helping high-growth companies build strong, functional cultures. Episode Outline and Highlights [1:25] What is company culture and why it is important for growth companies? [3:35] Codifying the culture development process - what it means. [8:28] Why invest time to be intentional on your culture versus just having one by default? [13:30] “There is no right or wrong culture, it is either strong and functional or weak and dysfunctional” What makes a culture functional? [21:55] Hear the initial steps you should take when starting the culture development journey. [32:55] Why it is impossible to hire based on “culture fit” and why you should hire for values instead. [35:49] How to address degrading company culture in a remote environment. [42:20] Brett talks about one of the most challenging experiences he has to overcome. [48:30] Brett tells the story of having lunch with Nelson Mandela. “The way we do things right here” Our conversation started off with how Brett would define “company culture.” He gave a straightforward response, “My definition, or the definition I like of company culture, is the way we do things around here. Which is like an all-encompassing thing, but that is deliberate. Because company culture really is the DNA of your organization and it drives everything.” Brett also raised very two important points when talking about its importance. Where we are and how our company is adapting around this time of the pandemic is really driven by our culture. The most important thing we have to think about is that your company culture is degrading over time in most cases. Listen to the whole conversation as Brett and I drill down further on these key points. Invest Time to Design Your Culture If you are a small startup, you might have hesitations about investing time to design and codify your culture. Why does it make sense to not just settle for a default culture and way of working and be proactive in designing your company culture? After doing deep-dive interviews with 50+ leaders who took it upon themselves to build a functional culture, Brett mentioned a number of solid benefits. Some of the payoffs that were mentioned are: Quoting David Cummings, “Company culture is the one sustainable competitive advantage that you have complete control over.” The glue to your team is your company culture - without it, you will not get the right behaviors. It helps you attract better talent. Among other things, having a functional culture can help your company out-position others that do not. The CEO Must Get It Taking the culture-building journey starts with the most important step: the CEO must get it. Culture starts from the top and trickles down below. Brett discussed the critical parts of creating a functional and strong culture: Define your values. This involves understanding two things: What the actual current culture is? What is the aspirational culture? Define the expected behaviours against your values. This involves being really clear with how the members should interpret these values. Listen to how Brett illustrates the above critical points as well as their practical application.

My guest in this episode is Bretton Putter, CEO of CultureGene and author of Own Your Culture and Culture Decks Decoded. In this inspiring conversation we talked about the power of culture especially during challenging times, what does it take to create great culture, how to develop such culture during crisis and virtual work and many practical applications for leaders.

In this session you would get insights which you can apply right away to take your people and organization to the next level. Some insights from this episode: - Culture create both stability and #agility in times of #crisis - Investing time to #connect on a #human level is key to drive #positiveculture and this we could do as leaders by creating psychological safety - #zoomfatigue is the result of over relying on #synchronous communication instead of leveraging the power of #asynchronous - Hiring people who are aligned with your culture and #values saves you endless struggles trying to force unfit candidates into your company - #virtualwork requires more attention to and clearer: values and culture including communication, processes and tools. - #leaders should give culture as much attention as a business unit because it is the invisible force that drives behavior and performance - "#culture and #strategy meet for breakfast, then have lunch, then at dinner they beat the competition!" Hope you will find inspiration and practical insights in this episode. Please leave a rating or comment as feedback on this episode or overall about the podcast! I would love to hear from you!

Do you recruit for ‘culture fit'? If you do, then you're wasting your time, says Bretton Putter, author and CEO of CultureGene, a culture development, consultancy and software business.“My vision is to help millions of people lead better work lives by changing culture globally. And my mission is to help change culture development into a critical business function in the way that sales and marketing are.”Brett is a self-declared reformed recruiter, who saw the light when he was doing executive search for some CEOs who really got culture in their businesses. They made him hire based on behaviours, and while it wasn't something he was initially keen to do, he saw how effective it was - hiring great employees into a business that was clear on its culture, and has since built a business based on the idea that as a CEO, your company's culture is your only source of sustainable competitive advantage.

How do you turn your first draft into a published book? According to Brett Putter, founder of CultureGene and author of "Culture Decks Decoded," the answer may be unsuitable for print.
Bretton Putter is a leading expert on startup and high-growth company culture. As Managing Partner of a global executive search firm, he sourced CxOs, VPs and Directors for more than 400 startups and high-growth companies. He is the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a company culture consultancy, writes a popular blog on culture-driven companies, is a sought-after speaker, and a contributor to Forbes. His new book is Culture Decks Decoded: Transform Your Culture Into A Visible, Conscious And Tangible Asset. “if you are going to found a company and you are setting up with other cofounders do your due diligence on him. 65% of venture capital backed companies fail because of management and often founding management issues. So if you are going to set up with a co-founder or cofounders make sure you understand exactly where you all are because lawyers are expensive to undo that sort of thing. And if you have got a great team then I recommend just do it, believing it, go for it, it's there for the taking. This is in my opinion the best time to be an entrepreneur ever. Technology is making so much more available there are billions of people on mobile, online… that you can distribute your product anywhere.

Company culture is one of those areas which seems quite simple on a high level, yet only a few businesses excel at. This week we are bringing in Bretton Putter, the founder of CultureGene, a next generation executive search consultancy. In the episode we examine what exactly 'constitutes' company culture, the criteria to look for when hiring, and how to effectively test for cultural fit in the early days. In his most recent book, 'Culture Decks Decoded', Brett has combined his analysis of hundreds of culture decks and tackles the patterns that make up a sustainable culture. The benefits are clear, but the path to success remains vague. As Bretton says, "Probably the most commonly forgotten aspect about creating company culture is that it has to be managed."

Segment idea--7 Keys of a Great Culture Deck: The New Secret Weapon for Startups and High-Growth Companies / Expert Tips and Advice I’m contacting you with a segment idea about the most important secret weapon for any startup or high-growth company today — a culture deck. The Big Idea: Netflix. Hubspot. Patreon. LinkedIn. Valve. Besides being among the most admired companies in the world, these firms all have well-defined, ahead-of-the-pack cultures. They don’t just create a culture, however. They craft culture decks and other vital materials to convey their values, mission, vision and purpose inside as well as outside the organization. Why It Matters: Culture is critical to the success of companies. Deloitte found that 94% of executives and 88% of employees believe it’s important to business success. Yet 9 out of 10 CEOs don’t leverage their culture as a competitive advantage — the one competitive advantage they have complete control over. A culture deck is the most effective way to transmit that culture, resulting in tangible payoffs — from better hires and employee performance to more inspired investors and clients. Key Messages: In Culture Decks Decoded: Transform Your Culture into a Visible, Conscious and Tangible Asset (CCF Publishing, Nov. 8, 2018), startup and growth company culture expert Bretton Putter looks at outstanding culture decks created by top organizations. Any company can look at these culture decks and find the concepts that work. He can also discuss: How a strong, pervasive culture helps companies maintain their missions and strategy. How companies can use a culture deck to best present their unique culture to the world. Why the most-loved firms all share a vibrant, intentional culture. Why the Netflix culture deck was a gamechanger, and how other companies are following suit. Why it’s so important to talk about “how we work around here.” How to create a culture deck that can scale as your company expands.
