Company culture - the shared beliefs, attitudes, values, and goals of an organization are instrumental to its success. Strong company culture has been shown to lead to higher employee engagement, stronger financial performance, and overall a more efficient organization. While many companies strive to create a workplace culture rich in diversity, equity, and inclusion, it is easier said than done. Creating such a culture requires commitment from all levels of the organization, and it takes time.
Founded nearly 40 years ago, Adobe’s company culture has earned many awards. Most recently, it was named to Fortune Magazine’s 25 World’s Best Workplaces for the sixth year in a row. They have also been ranked the Best Company for Diversity, Women, and Company Culture. While these accolades are impressive, how does Adobe cultivate its award-winning company culture?

The sense of responsibility that Adobe has shown toward its customers and community plays a significant role in the overall success of the company's culture. Let’s take a look at Adobe’s corporate responsibilities - creativity, sustainability and community.
Creativity
Adobe promotes creativity in many different ways. Through programs like Adobe Digital Academy, Adobe Education Exchange, and Gen Create, creators can have opportunities to have their voices heard.

Adobe values its customers, community, and employees. Success can be attributed to the culture it has cultivated. Companies can learn from Adobe to prioritize company culture to drive business performance. While perks and benefits can be attractive, there's more to company culture. A Glassdoor survey found that 67% of job seekers considered workplace diversity an important factor when looking for a job, and 50% of employees want their current company to step up their diversity efforts. Increasing DEI efforts can drastically improve company culture.
