Be Valued - Be Valued for who you are and what you believe in

Being Valued at Workplace; OfficeBook
How many times have we joined a new workplace without a clue of the culture in the company? How many times have we felt that the values you believe in are not nurtured with in the company? How many of us would love to work in a place where you are valued for who you are and what your truly believe in?

The answer for all of the above questions is quite simple. We should all join and work in companies where you can be 'who you are'. You should not have to put on a facade every day at work and must long to go to work every morning.

Why is that not a reality? There has not been an accessible platform for most of us to check culture of a company prior to joining. There has not been an easy method to find companies whose culture matches your values. With most of us spending an inordinate amount of time of our lives at work, it is about time the situation changed.

OfficeBook, our fun and USEFUL application on Facebook provides a platform for you to find companies that match your values. Use the platform to anonymously inform your company to improve the workplace culture. Check culture of companies prior to joining them.

this sounds interesting and hope it will work for Indian companies. But on FaceBook - a site that is banned AT the workplace, people will have to sit extra on the PC at home to do this app... :>
let's hope a lot of them WILL
