MYTH: Company Culture is "Nice to Have" with Pamela McGee

In this episode, we’re taking time to debunk the all too prevalent myth that good company culture is simply “nice to have.” Just like our guest today says, “what made you successful won’t necessarily keep you there.”  

Joining Beth to help break down why company culture is key to long term success, is Pamela McGee, President at the Greater Orlando Society of Human Resources (GOSHRM).    

Pamela makes so many amazing points like: 

• How a strong company culture makes it that much easier for your organization to put out fires 
• Why focusing on your culture is instrumental in retaining your top performers 
• And, lastly, how good culture can help transform your company into an employer of choice
