Building a "sticky" culture is essential for any thriving business. It's what attracts and retains employees, fosters engagement, and encourages loyalty. Here’s the Kass & Mike recipe for sticky culture: •Make your vision, values and origin story tangible.•Recruit and onboard employees purposefully.•Fiercely protect the culture you are building.•Create team games to build camaraderie.•Instill giving as a regular course of business.•Celebrate with everyone - wins, birthdays and more.•Recognize each other early, often and publicly. •Commit to a company calendar.Remember, a radically good company culture is the closest we get at work to the love we share with people outside the office. It is the glue every team needs to hold it together—industrial-strength, multi-purpose, people-bonding superglue.
