Blue jeans or a suit and tie? Flexible hours or regular schedules? Formal procedures or relaxed rules? How you answer these questions will help shed some light into your company's unique culture. Corporate culture is a broad term used to define the personality or character of an organization, including its core values and standards of behavior. Culture permeates everything your organization does and a healthy culture is the foundation of a highly engaged workforce.
This month we're providing insight into how you can use your culture to become a more dynamic, more productive and more profitable organization. We're also excited about sharing a short video where we reflect on how PFL's unique culture has contributed to our success.

Designer's Corner
Think Outside the List
Okay, so you're ready to tackle a big creative project but you're not sure where to start. Consider using the technique of mind-mapping to communicate your thoughts more clearly.
