When deciding whether to accept a job offer, one big factor to consider is the organisational culture. Finding out whether the workplace will be a good fit for you can be tough – so it's important to ask questions during the interview.
Before you say yes to a prospective company, it's advisable to find out what you can about its culture. Finding an organisation with a good culture fit can help you discover your purpose in the job. You can try and gauge workplace culture by asking questions during the interview:
- Ask how the team has evolved during the pandemic.
- Discuss what the company has done to help their employees stay connected while working remotely.
- Try and uncover how the organisation recognises and rewards its staff.
- It can also be helpful to ask how the company addresses failure.
- Ask what the company is doing to promote diversity, inclusion and equity in the company.
