There is no magic formula for retaining a company's employees, but undoubtedly the assertiveness of cultural fit between candidates and company in a selection process has never been so strategic. 
 
We live in a time when professionals are increasingly eager for knowledge, recognition and professional development in increasingly dynamic and innovative companies. The reinforcement of an open culture encourages people to really feel part of the business, causing their opinion and work to be demanded and accepted in an increasingly incisive way, creating a much more valuable bond in this relationship.
 
When a person is inserted in a professional environment suited to their work style, whether it is process-oriented or results-oriented, it makes the heavy value at the time of receiving an external offer intangible, but with an immeasurably greater weight than any proposal. financial. For this, the professional listed tips for you to do well in a startup, as follows:
 
1)    Start and then improve: in a structure that is still small and young, the processes will be simpler and easier to execute. There is no need for so much bureaucracy to get a project off the ground and put it into practice.
 
2)    Use and abuse common sense: this will help you adapt processes efficiently as your business grows larger.
 
3)    Do more with less: the resources in a startup are smaller – human, financial and technological – so use your creativity and you might be surprised with the result.
 
4)    Feel the "owner's pain": as resources are limited, each and every economy is representative. Not to mention the culture that is already created in taking care of your business as a whole, whether to sell or deliver your product or service or to turn off the lights when you leave.
 
5)    Startup is not synonymous with woohoo in the office: on the contrary, work is hard and requires dedication!
 
6)    Work with passion: If you believe in the business, your satisfaction in seeing the company develop will be very gratifying.
