'The Culture 500 measures company performance across nine cultural values — agility, collaboration, customer orientation, diversity, execution, innovation, integrity, performance, and respect'.
I'd say this is dangerous, self serving nonsense by academics cargo culting what they think large corporations look like from outside.
The valuation data is suspect (GlassDoor etc) and anyone who has worked inside any of these entities see through the identity politics pr signaling put out by corporate comms.
The only way to accurately gather data on companies is by exit poll, people who have left a company and have no skin in the game and possibly a dissenting opinion. I'd rather scale up my thoughts and views from criticism than try to make sense of this fluff
- mathattack 6y agoAlso a stretch to assume the same values equally mean excellence for each company.
- dsull 6y agoWe do not assume that. Indeed we explicitly discuss why different companies could select different bundles of values.

- dsull 6y agoThe data is not external. It is based on NLP analysis of free text of reviews by current and former employees. The data is not based on corporate comms or PR. About half of reviews are from former employees. Former employees' assessment of values correlates, on average, above 0.8 with current emplooyees' assessment of the same values. Interesting how you feel entitled to dismiss as "nonsense" and "fluff" without any understanding of underlying methodology or data.
