Definition of culture in a business

What Is Corporate Culture?

Corporate culture refers to the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are common or understood at a company. These determine how a company's employees and management interact, perform, and handle business transactions.

Often, corporate culture is implied, not expressly defined, and develops organically over time from the cumulative traits of the people that the company hires.

A company's culture will be reflected in elements such as its dress code, business hours, office setup, employee benefits, turnover, hiring decisions, treatment of employees and clients, client satisfaction, and every other aspect of operations.
