For the past decade, company culture has grown into a bonafide hot topic in the HR and recruitment world. Now in the 4th year of its running, Culture Summit is in a unique position to see how the industry has grown and changed, and even to reflect some of those changes in how the conference is run, who is attending, and who is speaking.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Today, we caught up with Jully Kim, who has attended every Culture Summit since its inception and Senior Manager, Program Management Office at BigCommerce to hear how the conference \u2013 and company culture \u2013 has evolved over the past 3 years.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image Source: LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n As a Sr. Manager of PMO, I manage other project and program managers across multiple offices. The culture of the workplace heavily influences my ability and my team\u2019s ability to execute \u2013 if the culture is terrible, I\u2019m limited in my role. If it\u2019s awesome, not only can I do my job, but I can do more and grow my role and my people.<\/span><\/p>\n Culture is such an important part of the way I think about work that I just can\u2019t separate the two. Of course, there’s the responsibilities and skills I need to get projects over the finish line, but I can’t do those things to the best of my ability in a vacuum at my desk. The nature of work is that I work with people, and people determine the culture I work in, and the culture decides how well I can execute those responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n In my sphere of influence, there wasn\u2019t an active conversation around company culture. My colleagues and I knew culture is important \u2013 we complain about it, praise it, or envy it from afar \u2013 but there wasn\u2019t a structured conversation around what it was.<\/span><\/p>\n I chose Culture Summit because it was the only conference around that actually addressed the topic \u2013 the only one! I didn\u2019t know what to expect, but I was hoping to find others I could start a conversation with about how this is an important topic. I knew culture was important and I needed to find others who thought it was important so I could equip myself to be a better culture agent at work\u2026 and I did!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n1. Why did you want to attend a conference around the topic of culture, and what jumped out about Culture Summit that made you choose this one?<\/h3>\n
