You know, we often talk about company culture like it’s this one big, unified thing. But the reality inside most organizations is way more nuanced. Sometimes, what you feel in one team is completely different from what you’d experience in another, even though they’re technically part of the same company. And that’s where the idea of micro-culture becomes really interesting—and honestly, really important.
So, to dive deeper into this, I’m really excited because today we have with us Rashi Ramani, Head of Human Resources at Care Insurance. She’s someone who has seen these dynamics play out firsthand, and her perspective on how micro-cultures form, evolve, and even sometimes turn toxic is going to be super insightful.
