Culture Hacks are the agile instrument to fill the desired corporate culture with life in the daily business routine.
They keep the postulated values present and provide the necessary reflection of daily actions. Culture Hacks address the mindset and the concrete behavior, thus making the corporate culture tangible for all employees at every level of the hierarchy.
