Corporate culture refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that characterize members of an organization and define its nature. The path to creating a culture of engagement is as hard to define as culture itself, and it is a path that has no end. When Tosca began operations in 1958, it was a much smaller company with 1 location and a handful of employees servicing 1 supply chain. Back then the concept of culture was much simpler to define and describe. Today, the thriving Tosca organization has grown to over 600 team members spread across 16 different locations, servicing 4 very different supply chains, with year over year double digit growth, and the complexities of creating company culture has grown with it. Join us for this webinar, in which Mike Wasson with Tosca will share some of their lessons and best practices learned from this journey, which are applicable no matter the size or complexity of your company, or of the role you play in your organization. In fact, Tosca’s success in sharing and living company values was recently recognized by the Atlanta Journal Constitution as one of the 2018 Top Workplaces in Atlanta. Join our webinar to learn more about what makes Tosca a special place to work.
