• If you say you have an 'innovative culture', however, you don't allow employees the freedom to create, their experience won't line up with your vision.

A company's mission, core values and sense of purpose is high on job seeker's lists of what they are looking for in a company. This is part of what makes companies a Destination Workplace™. When a company promotes one thing yet provides the opposite experience, workers will leave and seek culture alignment elsewhere.
