COMPANY CULTURE REQUIREMENTS

COMPANY CULTURE REQUIREMENTS:


As you see below are a list of excerpts of a job description, I found a days ago:

  • The ability to anticipate needs and take initiative
  • A demonstrated ability to work independently and as a member of a team
  • Support the vision, mission and values of the company
  • The ability to maintain confidential information
  • The ability to build and track calendars with accuracy and attention to detail
  • Strong multitasking skills
  • The ability to interact with team members in a positive and productive manner
  • The ability to work under tight time schedules without showing stress
  • Strong work ethic, integrity, and honesty
  • The desire to strive for excellence in all activities
  • The ability to manage time and deliver on responsibilities in an expeditious manner
  • Dependability, reliability, and responsibility
  • The ability to interact with all constituents in a positive manner
  • The ability to show respect for all team members and partners
  • The ability to coordinate responsibilities with a team that successfully delivers high-quality results
  • Successful experiences working in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated interpersonal skills that will yield lasting relationships
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Problem-solving and analytical skills to ensure top-quality results regardless of challenges that may arise
  • The unequivocal ability to self-manage and organize, order, and complete tasks
  • Exceptional organizational skills and a detail-oriented personality
  • The ability to motivate, lead, inspire, and work well with others as the company continues to grow
  • Quick mental processing, critical thinking skills, and the ability to work under pressure

This all sounds very offensive to my understanding of what a company culture should be like.

"The ability" to be or to do something emphasizes what? 

Do the company want all workers to have these abilities?

"Multitasking", "strive for excellence", "fast-paced environment", "work under pressure", - words that give the idea what is wrong in this particular "COMPANY CULTURE REQUIREMENTS".

Made a dig into the theme of the definition of "Corporate Culture" and found this from Investopedia website:


Based on that definition above I can conclude that the listed "COMPANY CULTURE REQUIREMENTS" that I want to decipher are the "core values, ideology and practices" of the company at all.

Maybe I am wrong but that is how I see this job description at first sight. Of course, I am frustrated with the way it is written.   

Some of the lines in the JD are good and inspirational and sound promising to me. 

Is it OK to have COMPANY CULTURE "REQUIREMENTS" before the employee is hired, or he or she need to see if its fits their internal one?

Finally, I think that is the way this company want to catch the relevant applicants: by allowing them to see what the company culture is at the beginning of their observations.
