Question: How does your company’s purpose affect “back office” teams (accounting, legal, etc.)?
- Your back office teams should define and maintain your company’s purpose and find ways to share it with the rest of the company.
- Back office teams should find ways to make sure accounting processes, legal forms, etc. are focused on the needs of your customers.
- Back office teams should be aware of your company’s purpose but will not be affected by it directly.
- Back office teams should audit customer-facing teams to ensure the company’s purpose is being fulfilled.
Explanation
HubSpot connects company purpose to every team that influences the customer experience. Internal processes can create or remove friction even when they are not handled by customer-facing teams. Back office work should support the inbound methodology by making interactions easier, clearer, and more helpful. This keeps the company’s purpose active across operations, not limited to marketing, sales, or services.
Why the other options are incorrect
Purpose ownership incorrectly assigns company purpose to internal operations teams alone.
Indirect awareness minimizes the effect internal teams have on the customer experience.
Auditing customer-facing teams shifts back office teams into oversight instead of improving their own processes.
