Creating a positive company culture
Does your business have a positive company culture? A company culture is the values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors of a business’s employees and management. A company’s culture is determined by how the employees interact with each other and the management team. Developing a clearly defined and positive organizational culture can help you bring in more qualified employees, reduce turnover, increase production, and streamline procedures. Creating a cohesive culture can help improve employee morale and reduce workplace stress.
Here are 3 steps you can use to create that all-important positive company culture for your business.
1) Develop an action plan and communicate properly – use research, goals, mission, and vision statements to create and implement an action plan. Do your employees align with your company’s purpose and values? Create a plan where everyone has a mutual understanding of the purpose and values. This shared connection, to the benefit of the business, will help in creating a positive company culture, one in which the employees feel included and valued.
2) Ask for input and recognize successes – employees are an integral part of a company culture. If the employees have the benefit of helping create a positive environment, and if the employees feel valued by being recognized for their contributions, you are going to create trust and teamwork. It's also important to promote a good work-life balance by encouraging breaks and offering mental health resources.
3) Be the example – too often the leaders know what it takes to create or maintain a positive company culture, but they are not willing to do it themselves. Successful leaders are those that embody the values and beliefs and hold themselves to the same or an even higher standard than they expect of their employees. The best leaders lead by example.
If you create a positive company culture, one where employees feel valued, supported and included; your business will thrive. Satisfied employees stay, contribute, and want to see a business succeed. They will not only want the business to thrive, but they will also gladly be a part of making that happen.
