Our new London office opens on 4th July 2016 and we just ran a poll with our staff to choose our favourite inspirational quotes on company culture, leadership and employee engagement. Here's how we got on.

1. Cultured Walls!
Choosing our favourite quotes on company culture for the walls of our new London office

2. Our new office in London, UK opens
on 4th July and we wanted some
great quotes on Company Culture to
inspire us as we work.
Our friends at Brightspot Strategy are
helping us to make sure the new
office is a great place to work. They
taught us how much we need to
involve our people in the design of
the workplace.
So we held an all-staff vote to help us
choose which quotes we would use.
Here are the results

2016 they’ll look a bit like
