4 Ways to Improve Your Workplace Culture

By Sean Gordon

One of the biggest obstacles to managing a group of people is ensuring that you have a healthy workplace culture. In fact, if someone is unhappy at their job, it’s more than likely the atmosphere that they work in that makes them miserable. Sure, the actual job itself can factor in here and there, but most people can do anything in the right environment. The workplace can make or break your employees, so if we can facilitate a healthy workplace, it stands to reason that your team would thrive and work well. That’s what we should strive to empower our employees to produce good work and work well where they are.

Here, we have 4 ways to improve workplace culture:

1. Build a great team

It’s important to look at your employees as individuals, not just as a team that’s pushing your business forward every day. It’s a beautiful thing to have great people working for you, but it’s even better to have great people that are great together. While you don’t want one person doing the heavy lifting, you also don’t want one person taking the credit. Sharing the wealth and the workload is important to have a great team! Celebrate your wins and recover from your losses together.

2. Introduce company incentives

Company incentives go a long way to encouraging good work. Whether it’s something as simple as an Amazon Prime gift card or even entering a sort of lottery to win a vacation, it’s important to reward hard work. Introducing an incentives program to reward your employees not only shows that you’re willing to reward hard work, but it also establishes a healthy sense of competition among your employees.

3. Make your employee’s life easy

With traditional work environments gone the way of the past, it’s time to embrace a new way of conducting business. Maybe this includes writing up a different kind of schedule than you would normally see in a workplace. Flexibility, within reason, goes a long way to making the lives of those around you much easier. As long as your expectations are clear and concise, and the necessary work is getting done, the details of office are just that: details. There’s no need to get all wrapped in whether Carol made it into the office right 9:00 a.m. if she’s able to get her work done. As long as your employees are productive and getting the necessary work done, there’s no need to fret over everything else.

4. Communicate your motivations clearly

More than anything, you want your employees to understand the motivations behind the business. By communicating clearly what the company is trying to do and what your expectations as a manager are, you can avoid any complications due to a misunderstanding. As long as your employees have a clear idea of what the company expects of them, they can operate under those parameters pretty freely.
