A key takeaway from the episode is that workplace culture extends far beyond policies and perks. Instead, Chadha argues, it is reflected in how people experience their work environment everyday—from their ability to speak openly to whether leaders consistently model the values they promote. "Culture is not something you announce on Mondays," said Chadha. "It's something people whisper on Fridays."
