Introduction

A company culture is a set of shared values, goals, attitudes and practices that characterize an organization. It should support and nurture the employees and is key to a company’s success. All home service companies, regardless of their trade, should strive to develop and nurture a strong, positive, and healthy culture among its employees.

The culture is usually established by the owners, or leadership team in the company. Wise leadership teams will include their key employees that emulate the values and characteristics that are most important to the company. 

Culture takes time to implement so be patient, consistent and clear with the culture you’d like to cultivate in your company.
