Netflix’s Culture Deck has become famous in the HR and organizational development world. It is simple and clear and outlines many of their innovative people practices. l love the unadorned and pioneering nature of it. There is a lot we can learn from Netflix – their focus on fewer policies, greater freedom, and hiring A-players only. One thing I would advise, though, is to not copy them. It is so important that the culture you create is genuine and authentic to your own brand. Consider your organization’s purpose and the shared values of your employees. Involve your employees in determining what sorts of people practices make sense for you. Don’t copy Netflix (or Google, or Zappos, or anyone else).
We get it – there are some very awesome companies out there. Why not learn from the best?!? We agree – learn from them. Take some inspiration from them. But when it comes to Culture, your company will be different from others. It should be. And it shouldn’t fit everyone. Not everyone will love your Culture or share your Values. That’s okay. The clearer you are about who you are, what you stand for, and how people in your company behave and act with each other and their customers, the more likely you’ll be to get the right A-players for your team.
So… don’t copy, but if you’re looking for more inspiration, here are 5 more culture decks you may have missed.
