What is Zappos’s company culture<\/a>? How is it effective in creating a friendly environment for Zappos’s employees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Tony Hsieh, the founder and former CEO of the online retail store Zappos, a strong and healthy culture is what makes a company successful<\/a>. In Delivering Happiness<\/em>, Zappos’s culture can be defined in three major categories: friendship, support, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn more about Zappos’s culture and its principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zappos’s Company Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zappos sets itself apart from its competitors through a culture devoted to making its employees happy. Hsieh believes that by making its employees happy, Zappos will naturally fulfill its other objectives of great customer service<\/a> and continued success. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zappos began nurturing its culture early in the company\u2019s life. Shaping the culture at this stage was easy, Hsieh explains, because Zappos had a small group of employees who joined the company because they were excited about the project,<\/strong> rather than just looking to make money. Zappos could start nurturing these good qualities from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Culture of Friendship<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first principle defining Zappos\u2019s culture is friendship,<\/strong> Hsieh explains. <\/strong>Employees who are friends with their coworkers are happier, which inspires them to do better work and makes the office environment more enjoyable. In addition, employees that are friends work<\/a> better together during difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Zappos Encourages Friendship<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Zappos doesn\u2019t stop at abstractly encouraging its employees to embody the principle of friendship. It also takes concrete steps to increase friendships among its employees, Hsieh explains. For example, in its early days, Zappos built friendship into the hiring process<\/strong>: When evaluating potential employees, the hiring team considered if they would enjoy spending time with the potential employee outside of work. If the answer was \u201cno,\u201d they wouldn\u2019t hire that individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Hsieh says Zappos designed its building so every employee must funnel through the lobby to enter or exit. This is less convenient for employees than having several exits, but this strategy increases the number of positive interactions employees have with each other as they enter and leave work.<\/strong> Even these brief positive interactions encourage the formation of friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Culture of Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second principle of Zappos\u2019s culture is supporting its employees<\/strong>, Hsieh says. Employees that feel supported by their employers are happier and more motivated to work hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hsieh explains that support means recognizing what\u2019s best for your employees\u2019 happiness and productivity<\/a> and providing for that need, even if it means losing money in the short term.<\/strong> For example, your employees might need affordable childcare so they can focus on work instead of worrying about their children. To meet this need, you might institute a program to help parents pay for childcare or even provide childcare in-house. These solutions cause a short-term loss in service of long-term growth fueled by employee happiness<\/a> and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Zappos Provides Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the things employees need to be happy and productive\u2014and that Zappos provides\u2014is trust and empowerment to make decisions,<\/strong> Hsieh argues. The employees on the \u201cfront lines\u201d of a department are usually the best equipped to understand and handle that department\u2019s problems. Supporting these employees and their suggestions shows that you respect them and empowers them to solve problems faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Employees Through Financial Security<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Another thing employees need to be happy and productive is financial security.<\/strong> Zappos outdoes its competitors in supporting its employees\u2019 financial security in several ways. One of the most well-known examples is its four-week probation period. If employees quit during this time, they receive a $2,000 bonus. This incentive<\/a> ensures that people stay at Zappos because they want to work there<\/em> rather than staying out of necessity because they can\u2019t afford to search for another job. This policy inspires and impresses employees, Hsieh explains, and fewer than 1% of employees take the offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Culture of Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The final principle of Zappos\u2019s culture is innovation. <\/strong>Innovation is vital for any company, Hsieh maintains because companies fail when they stop improving. You can’t become comfortable with your current success because others can<\/em> and will<\/em> copy your methods. The only way to maintain success<\/a> is constant evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation also contributes to employee happiness.<\/strong> Following the same patterns and processes at work becomes stifling over time and can lead to employee burnout, Hsieh explains. On the other hand, innovation brings a constant sense of excitement and growth to a company, making people more engaged and happier at work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Zappos Encourages Innovation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Zappos’s culture encourages its employees to innovate by supporting their ideas, even unconventional ones<\/strong>, Hsieh says. <\/strong>For example, rather than conducting conventional job interviews, the Zappos hiring team created unconventional \u201cspeed interviewing.\u201d Like speed dating, prospective employees only have a few minutes to convince the hiring team that they\u2019re a good fit for the job. While the speed interviewing initially needed some trial-and-error to run smoothly, it lets the hiring team evaluate a lot of candidates quickly and determine who might be a good fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
