"Cultural fit, to me, isn’t just cookie-cutter. ‘They think like us, talk like us, have the same background as us, ok, they’re the right fit’. It doesn’t work like that. Sometimes cultural fit is additive, or complimentary. If you’re trying to adjust your culture in some way, does this new person then take you where you want to go as an organization? That’s why I find culture really interesting. That’s where Internal Communications comes in. When your internal story is strong, finding the right cultural fit becomes easier for everyone.” Hear more from our guest, Channa Green – VP of Corporate Communications & Strategic Marketing at True, a global talent sourcing company.
