Organizational Culture

Google is an organization that has offices in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. I’d say with offices in all of these locations, and employees from literally around the world, they are the perfect company to be a poster child for raising awareness against stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. In 2013, Google started rolling out “bias-busting” workshops to target hidden prejudices within their company (Guynn, 2015). Since Google employs individuals from all over the world, it only seems right that they provide this type of training and instill this mindful outlook on them. Working in a place that is also working for you to make sure that all employees are educated about the culture of those who work for them is a huge plus.

An organization is only as strong as its weakest link. If the organization can work to strengthen that link, then they are that much better. Knowing that the stereotype of most technology companies is that they almost only employ men who are white or Asian, Google wanted to make sure they were not living up to that. By educating their employees and working hard to break down stereotypes and discriminations, they have built a company that is openminded, that gives back to the community, and that continuously educates their staff.

The only hinderance I can see that could come from continuously educating a company’s employees would be that they could get burnt out on all of it. However, if the training and information is done in such a way that they do not feel like they are being punished for something that was inappropriately done, and the information is relevant to today’s culture and times, then the hinderance should be minimal if at all.
