How much does company culture matter when you're selecting an applicant for a position? It's as important for employers, sometimes even more so, than qualifications and skills. For job seekers, it's critical to make sure you're going to fit in with your colleagues, with company management, and with the company's mission and goals. If not, the job is probably not going to work out.
Art Papas, CEO of Bullhorn, Inc. says, "When people take jobs with new organizations, they frequently analyze responsibilities and compensation closely while relying on gut feel developed during the interview process to decide if they'll actually like working there. But given that cultural fit is so important to hiring success, it's not surprising that 46% of new hires leave within 18 months. We embarked on the Workplace DNA Project to better understand the critical issue of workplace fit."
Bullhorn, Inc. has released its Workplace DNA study and the results show that education, age and gender (in that order) have the most impact when determining a good fit between employees and company culture.
Here are the results of Bullhorn's Workplace DNA Project.
