As an HR Manager here in North Carolina, I want to share something in the motivation category. This website and so many others are filled with great ideas and thoughts, I wanted to be able to share these with the employees at my company.
So when it’s time to recognize someone for their performance, I take one of these quotes from my (long) list, and instead of giving them a standard old plaque, I put the quote on a DYI – Design Your Inspiration from Successories. They are very handsomely framed and the photo choices are very good. It’s made employee recognition much more meaningful AND appreciated. The website is http://www.dyi.successories.com Thanks again.

As long as there are two or more people interacting, even in the smallest ways, and for the shortest times, there IS a culture. And I’ve never, ever seen, whether at home, at work, or at play, a culture that was not important in the behavior and performance of its individuals. That is simply the nature of culture.

@Laurie

I think it matters to the extent that even if you were a stand alone artist fulfilling a contract, you would still want to in an environment that was supportive to you and conducive to productivity, creativity, etc. I agree it would matter a lot less if you were working remotely, working short term, working on multiple projects with multiple employers, or whatever.

People will always have a preference for working places where they fit and feel comfortable versus the other possibilities.

At the end of the day, nobody really wants to work with a bunch of assholes, do they?

So culture will still matter to that extent. My thoughts in this case are really wrapped more around traditional organizations, I guess.

I just had a discussion with someone that culture doesn’t matter when everyone is a brand and you’re a project-worker who is hired to do a task or assignment.

If the future of work is project-based and limited in scope and engagement, does culture matter?
