I really love this article from Fast Company. Too often we think of progressive work cultures as having a lot of extra frills that promote creativity and exploration. What we fail to see is that the important thing about these cultures is not the foosball table but instead what the idea of the foosball table means to the culture. That foosball table let's employees know that it is ok to explore and have fun. Cultures that make their employees feel at ease and feel as though they can have fun and explore are the ones that employees want to work for and the cultures that produce exceptional experiences for their consumers.
