We live in a digital world, and in this world, productivity and efficiency have become exponentially more accessible. We have a mountain of resources at our disposal to help companies of all sizes create the most effective teams, build great culture, and improve their bottom line.
There used to be a time when CRM’s, analytics, and fancy email marketing applications were designed purely as enterprise solutions for the large companies that could afford them. With the influx of software developers, we’re fortunate to now have all of these fancy tools now available even for individual entrepreneurs. In fact, most of them are completely free!
We talk a lot about culture around here, obviously. We talk about what makes great culture, and where building great culture starts. We really suggest thinking about culture as early as when you are an individual founder seeking a partner. One of the biggest reasons why startups fail, often, has to do with their team. Think about it this way, when you are building a company and the entire company is only made up of five people, when one person is gone, then technically 20% of the company is gone. When one of your team members doesn’t get along with others, the result is the same. You lose 20% of your company. Identifying good culture vs bad culture is so easy especially with smaller teams. When it’s bad, your productivity drops, efficiency, organization, communication, and more. Your whole business suffers.

HR Tech has certainly come a long way. If you check out Angel List and look up every HR Tech Startup that is listed in their database, you will see almost 200 startups with almost 1,000 investors and 100 different jobs currently being offered. Since New Year’s Day, there are already four new HR Tech Startups listed. Most people have no clue that this industry is literally booming right now. Unless you work in human resources, most people wouldn’t even know that every year, Las Vegas holds a massive conference for HR technology. In fact, almost 9,000 attendees make it each year, with more than 300 exhibiting companies and over 75 new product announcements.
So why is this industry booming? What’s going on right now that wasn’t going on before? Back in October, HR Dive caught up with some HR professionals who gave us some insights on what what’s happening and what to look for.

However, it goes to show that you can STILL have great company culture and STILL be a great place to work.
Another interesting point is that there are two solar companies that made it on this list for having great company culture. Solar City is quickly becoming a household name, if not already being one. Great to see them here and eager to see if they can move up from the 50 spot.
