Show Notes

In this episode, I spend time with Don Sloan, the new Chief Digital Officer at EmployBridge.

Don has been in the staffing industry for about 20 years and has been in technology for nearly 30 years. With Don, family is extremely important. People are at the forefront of his values, which makes him the perfect guest for this episode.

Don talks about the robustness of a culture’s micro-culture, what feeds the broader culture, and what it means to have a company culture.

Don also talks about how we all are responsible for the culture. He admits culture is not an easy topic, but an important one. Don does a wonderful job talking about the various aspects of company culture and what that means for every one of us.

“Make It Happen” by Mariah Carey

Tweetable Quotes

“I define culture as a collective identity. The collective can be any group, but the sharing of common beliefs, principles, and values is what shapes a culture.”

“Culture exists whether you manage or shape it. Culture isn’t something that you choose to have or not have. Culture is something that EmployBridge has, no matter what.”

“Leading by example is absolutely a requirement for what we want to do.”

“Trust is non-negotiable.”
