Erin Jewell on Company Culture
Erin gives the basic definition of culture, in that culture can be changed at any time.
“If you are not satisfied with the culture of the team, just know that you can change. Cultures are established by a bunch of opinions that have stayed in place for periods of time.” – Erin Jewell
Some companies are afraid to change their culture, because they think that it is what defines them, and that it is a foundation for the company. But if a culture that has been propagating is unwelcoming or downright toxic, should we not consider changing it for the better?
The Five Fundamentals
Erin talks about five fundamental things that in her experience, has never failed to work in fostering a positive workspace.
These 5 Fundamentals are:
- Trust
- Taking a Strength-based approach
- Communication – Verbal, Non-verbal, and material
- A sense of community
- Holistic Listening
Erin shares that if you can nurture these 5 things, your employees will always have a great experience at work, and can focus on their work even better with no worries.

Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
