Five for Friday: Culture champions

Written by Corey Moseley | Nov 30, 2018 6:00:00 PM

A culture champion is someone who believes in, helps develop, and cultivates excitement in their workplace culture. They champion the cause of their organization, and are at the forefront of how that culture emerges across it.

A culture champion also instills confidence in company missions and values, celebrates colleagues’ successes, and seeks out ways of bringing culture to life. To put it another way, culture champions are among their company’s most engaged employees.

But how does one go about becoming a culture champion, and what do they actually do, day-to-day? This week’s Five for Friday endeavors to unravel the mysteries of culture champions, and explain how they can be utilized to get people excited about their company culture, increase morale, and more.
