“One of my housemates just had his first day at Atlassian today, and
he came home talking about how when he arrived his workstation and user
 accounts were already ready to go, and he had a desk with a welcome
 card and some chocolates. He was really buzzed about working there.

I'm sure there are a lot of people directly and indirectly responsible for that
  experience, but I know how this kind of culture tends to start at the
  top. I just wanted to say congratulations, because it sounds like you've
  created the kind of environment where your staff feel valued from the
  second they walk in the door, and want to brag to their friends when
                               they get home.”

  • 21. “One of my housemates just had his first day at Atlassian today, and he came home talking about how when he arrived his workstation and user accounts were already ready to go, and he had a desk with a welcome card and some chocolates. He was really buzzed about working there. I'm sure there are a lot of people directly and indirectly responsible for that experience, but I know how this kind of culture tends to start at the top. I just wanted to say congratulations, because it sounds like you've created the kind of environment where your staff feel valued from the second they walk in the door, and want to brag to their friends when they get home.” Market to your employees All the time
