All of the submissions were as unique as the companies that created them. But while incredibly different in style, message, and personality, there were a few key themes that connected all the video finalists, including:
- A genuine belief that what makes a workplace great is the people you work with.
- A real sense of team and working together to accomplish company goals.
- Welcoming expressions of individuality and originality.
- Enjoyment of one’s actual work.
- Pride in the reputation of the company and what the company contributes to the community.
- A sense of celebration – celebrating company culture, values and accomplishments.
- An appreciation for opportunities to develop and advance.
Sure, there was some talk of perks, and some boasting about beautiful campuses, and exceptional benefits, but at the core was a real sense of pride.
We are grateful to all of the companies that gave us a glimpse inside their workplace culture and look forward to sharing some of their videos with you over the coming weeks.
Good luck to the finalists!
