What is My Company’s Culture? A Quick Company Culture Assessment
Our team often get asked two questions:
1. How do I know what my company culture is? and
2. How do you change it?
Well, you could say these are both “loaded questions”!
#2 is something that if we had a formula or recipe for, we would be out of work. It is so rich, nuanced, and complex.
But here is one of our frameworks for answering #1 with a quick company culture assessment.
A Super Quick Company Culture Assessment
Each organization lives somewhere on a series of spectra.
To discover your organizational culture and how healthy/unhealthy it is, there are a few levers to analyze. While a full company culture assessment can’t be done without a significantly more detailed assessment, this mini-assessment can give an individual leader or employee a snapshot.
Rather than overthinking, I encourage you to just note your immediate impulse on where your company falls.
Where would you rank your company on a scale of 1-5 for each of these words?

Now, add up your score.
If you scored 45–60: Your culture is pretty good! Sure you have some problems, but who doesn’t? Overall, you are working in a company that DOES prioritize culture, and so if you find anything you think can be improved, speak up.
If you scored 20–44: Meh….things could certainly be better. It’s up you if it’s tolerable or not. You’re not in a horrible situation, especially if they’re paying you well. Just don’t let the toxic parts of your culture rub off on you- be mindful. Try to change things for the better where you can.
If you scored below 20: Oh dear. Your company needs some drastic measures to improve employee engagement and overall performance. Talent and culture are the lifeblood of the organization(literally!). They can’t be neglected the way they are at your organization.
How healthy is your organization’s culture? And the more important question is, are you ok with it?
If not, no worries! We offer a ton of resources, guides, and tailored company culture workshops and consulting. Learn more here.
A Word from Sam Basu, Our Founder
“I’m an MBA, Certified Career Consultant and a Transformational Coach in NYC. After working several years in a Senior role with a big consulting firm, I realized I was unfulfilled, despite the cushy salary and perks. I decided to start my own communications consulting and career coaching company in NYC about 2 years ago. Thanks to God and hard work, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to scale this business to 7-figures in a short time!
…………..BUT, this success took me years of struggling and exploring what I wanted to do with my life.
Before this, I lived in India for several years as a musician, performing in local venues – I am in love with music!
And before that, I was a neuroscience researcher. I published articles with some of the most prestigious medical institutes in the USA, because I am fascinated with how the mind works!
Why do I share this? Well, I believe strongly that one has to explore in their life and in their career to find what they truly want to do and be; the more exposure we get to diverse disciplines and ways of working, the more successful we can be!
I use the wealth of my experiences across countries, career types, and disciplines to help my clients from ALL different backgrounds develop the clarity, confidence, and communication skills to fulfill their unique life paths!
“You are magic!“
