Culture: More than Jeans and Margarita Machines

By Marisa Keegan

"Culture: More than Jeans and Margarita Machines is like having one of the world's top corporate culture experts as your personal mentor. Based on the author's own experiences working in the technology sector, these lessons will certainly lead to a stronger work environment and increased employee engagement." Kevin Kruse, NY Times bestselling author, Employee Engagement 2.0Written for leaders, managers and HR professionals alike, this book sets out to debunk the myth that culture is about throwing parties and free food at your employees and exposes the strategy and infrastructure that defines the best companies in the country. Don't get me wrong, with in-house kegerators, ping pong tables, fully stocked break rooms, monthly happy hours and all the free soda employees can get their grubby little hands on, great places to work definitely know how to party. However, their extra-curricular events are successful because they have a strong culture, not the other way around. Their employees love their jobs, are respected by their teammates and do work that adds value. They're happy and engaged at work. Therefore, when they're in a room with music, food and entertainment they have a blast because they genuinely enjoy spending time together. Whether you're running a young company or one with years of history it's never too late to create a strong corporate culture. The advice in each chapter is easy to digest, thought provoking and will outline the specific steps required to build the culture you want within your organization. Culture itself shouldn't be boring and a book on the topic most definitely shouldn't be. Culture: More than Jeans and Margarita Machines includes research showing that culture positively impacts stock prices, quotes from industry experts, entertaining stories, and culture-isms that highlight the most important information you need to know in order to create or change your corporate culture. When a company has a great culture it's because the leadership team has decided to create one. They're ready to put in the work it takes because they understand that the long term impact of their decision is efficient recruiting, decreased turnover, increased engagement and productivity and higher stock prices. More importantly they want to build the kind of company where employees enjoy coming to work every day. That's the value proposition that a great culture holds. If you're ready to make culture happen then grab a copy of the book, a margarita, and a comfortable seat. We're in for a good ride.
