Culture

Marissa Mayer and Yahoo!'s culture


The culture that Marissa Mayer has shaped in Yahoo! has been shock to everyone. When Mayer first joined the company, she discovered that many employees were working from home and the company employees rarely had meetings. In return, Marissa Mayer came up with a few changes she took in order to shape Yahoo!’s culture. The first is to get her employees to re-commit. She believes that the best ways to get her employees to improve was to impose a movement that will change. Mayer decided that the movement was to change Yahoo!’s future for the better and those who were too negative to join their new way of doing things may leave. It is best for the company if there were no negative influences.

 The second change is ask for participation. Mayer would constantly tell her employees that they were doing important work and that they shouldn’t stop, thus, making them participate. She also decided that by celebrating progress, her employees will work harder. Not only that, but in any interview with media, Mayer focuses only on the company’s recent success and how hard her employees are working at the important jobs. She has shaped Yahoo! into becoming a positive working place.
