Does a customer remember a product or a person? When Walt Disney determined that people remember people, he had hit upon an essential business truth that led to immediate and sustained success. At Disney, the mission of small teams is aligned with the mission of the larger organizational culture to create a seamless experience. So while there may be thousands of job classifications, there will always be one common goal: Guest satisfaction. We believe that in any business, an organization’s human resource culture is central to long-term success.

The Disney corporate culture is the cornerstone of its people management processes and is the philosophy underlying all business decisions.
