Company culture is the characteristics of your office work environment and is essential to strengthening a team, retaining employees, and boosting productivity. Google nails their company culture and has been on the top of the Fortune’s Best Companies to Work for list for six years straight (and counting).
It’s no secret that Google headquarters has slides, but other companies have super fun offices as well. Airbnb’s office has destination-inspired workspaces (seriously, check them out), and HBO’s office is full of cozy spaces conducive to socialization and collaboration amongst employees.
While traditional office culture may balk at these hip new spaces, each of these companies listed are dominating in their field. You don’t have to implement their exotic practices to build company culture, though; it’s actually simpler than you’d think.
