Thousands of articles were written about cool office spaces covering everything as nonessential as an open concept to a sleep pod in your cubicle. Talking about building a culture in Silicon Valley started to sound like a show on HGTV, talking design concepts instead of technical competencies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/userimages\/site_media\/Mapping-the-Tech-Industry%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s-Culture-DNA_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Report Here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking back, I think most of us realize just how much energy was wasted. This battle for the most artistic representation of culture had very little to do with culture at all. We know now that culture is established in people\u2019s minds, ping-pong and pet at work policies be damned. Their behavior and motivation are the foundation, not your creatively named conference rooms and bagel Fridays. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Culture, like DNA, is unique from person to person and company to company. Understanding those differences can lead to powerful insights and actions. So that\u2019s precisely what QuestionProand CompTIA, the world\u2019s leading information technology association, set out to do for the tech industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After gathering survey responses from 1,400 tech professionals across verticals, roles, levels, and geographies, we amassed close to 100,000 data points on culture in the tech industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LEARN ABOUT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/work-culture-why-is-it-important\/\">Work culture<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result is the first ever published Tech Industry Culture Archetype (\u201cTICA\u201d) which provides insight on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What behaviors make tech cultures unique as compared to other industries,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What tech is noticeably lacking when it comes to culture, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, what actions are likely to have the most significant impact on things like employee engagement, productivity, and growth for tech professionals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To see the high-impact behaviors you can use to create organization culture in tech, you\u2019ll need to download the report. However, remember, take a regular pulse. Focus on those behaviors. Don\u2019t try to find out how good or bad you are as an organization. Just try to find out how much those desired behaviors are showing up. Are people experiencing the behaviors to the extent you want and need them to&#8230;and are they experiencing them in the right places? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And no, I don\u2019t recommend that you build another creative cubicle for the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">LEARN ABOUT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/behavioral-competency\/\">Behavioral Competency<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Conduct employee experience (EX) and work culture surveys using the QuestionPro <em>Workforce<\/em> platform.
