Its quite essential for the employees to fit with the Company Culture. Be it the artifact , language or any element comprising the culture as a whole. Identifying the company culture is crucial at the point of first setting up a company and its long term strategy. Zappos for example hire and fire based on their company culture. This means employees that did not fit into the company culture are fired immediately. Zappos culture is much of an open environment based on the right aspect of Strategic HRM.
Tony Heisch of Zappos mentions that what led Zappos to be sold to amazon is the failure to identify its culture from the beginning, that once the company expanded the matter was brought to discussion. This is where employees of a different culture started to join the company and inturn change or affect the Zappos culture.
Hence, should companies learn from the Zappos Experience. Yes obviously, there is a trend in which organizations especially IT firms are concentrating in setting up the culture from the start-up phase to building up a small business.However, setting up strict rules of firing and hiring in an organization might be of an internal threat that will eventually led to the company being sued because of it's illegal discrimination.
