How Individual Contributors Experience a Company's Culture with Kati Moore of Google Cloud

Culture Amplified

This episode focuses on how individual contributors experience a company’s culture in their everyday work.

Kati Moore from Google Cloud discusses the importance of culture and its impact: “Culture, to me, is the environment that’s created with the company that allows you to exist and to be and to grow and to collaborate.” A positive workplace culture enhances interactions with peers and clients, while a negative culture hinders productivity and satisfaction.

Kimber Reaves discusses the need for personal and corporate values to align and the role of uncomfortable conversations in fostering inclusivity and mutual respect.

Kati and Kimber explore how company culture shapes interactions with clients and customers. They acknowledge the unique challenge of balancing the technical aspects of their work with the human dimension. While technology companies are at the forefront of innovation, they also need to navigate the complexities of human interaction.

Kati emphasizes the importance of understanding client needs and delivering solutions that align with Google’s mission. “Respect the user, respect the opportunity.”

Kimber highlights the role of professionalism in building trust, and she emphasizes the importance of sustainability in the events industry.

They both express optimism about the future, envisioning a world where inclusivity, kindness, and respect are the norm.
