Workplace Culture

2. Positive Workplace Culture
Culture is the environment that surrounds us all the
time. A workplace culture is the shared values,
belief systems, attitudes and the set of assumptions
that people in a workplace share. This is shaped by
individual upbringing, social and cultural context. In
a workplace, however, the leadership and the
strategic organizational directions and management
influence the workplace culture to a huge extent. A
positive workplace culture improves teamwork,
raises the morale, increases productivity and
efficiency, and enhances retention of the workforce.
Job satisfaction, collaboration, and work
performance are all enhanced. And, most
importantly, a positive workplace environment
reduces stress in employees.

3. 1.Establish clear ethos and values for the
organization:
It is important to have a set of clear organizational
core values that are communicated effectively and
discussed with the employees so that they feel part
of it. It is crucial that demonstrable actions are
taken regularly so that the employees feel an
individual and personal responsibility towards these
values. This will ensure that they can evaluate their
own attitudes towards these positive core values,
and take pride in them. Positive attitudes and
positive actions make for a positive workplace
culture.

4.  Leadership and management style that
encourages teamwork, open and honest
communication is vital to creating a positive
feeling in the workplace. Open and honest
communication also means that regular audits
are taken to evaluate how people are
interacting with each other, feedback is
welcomed and taken on board, and
opportunities for social interaction are enabled.
These can include coffee mornings, team
getaways and family weekends. Continued
learning opportunities enabling team members
to assess their inherent unconscious and
implicit biases that can impact their interactions
with other employees are crucial.
2.Faster collaboration and communication:

5. Create an inclusive work
environment:
 A positive workplace is one where all the
employees are valued, supported and
nurtured irrespective of gender, sexual
orientation or color. All employees should
have equal opportunities to progress and
equal access to all the perks and rewards on
offer. An inclusive workplace is one that
values individual differences in the workforce
and makes them feel welcome and accepted.
Language can create confusion and
miscommunication. Careful use of language
that reinforces the gender-conscious and
inclusive ethos, such as that emphasizing the
function of space rather than the gender
identity of users is important.

6. 4.Create clear goals and rewards
for the employees:
 The survey by Deloitte showed that 83% of executives
and 84% of employees rank having engaged and
motivated employees as the top factor that substantially
contributes to a company’s success. Motivated and
engaged employees can be created if they are treated
equally and have clear goals that they can work
towards. Having a transparent policy for progression
and promotion offers the staff an opportunity to
measure their performance. Measurable performance
indicators will mean that there would be healthy
competition, but this kind of honest policy statement
would help avoid negative feelings and resentment
amongst the team members towards each other. When
goals are positively reinforced, and achievements are
recognized and celebrated, it leads to employees
feeling valued which in turn creates a positive feeling in
the workplace.

7. A positive culture in the workplace is essential
for fostering a sense of pride and ownership
amongst the employees. When people take
pride, they invest their future in the organization
and work hard to create opportunities that will
benefit the organization. By identifying and
rewarding those who are actively striving
towards creating a positive work culture, and
supporting others around them, companies can
encourage others to do the same. Positive
attitudes and behavior in the workplace are the
direct results of effective leadership and a
positive management style.

Workplace Culture

2. Opportunities for Growth
3. Culture of Collaboration
4. Reward Systems
5. Strong Purpose and Core Values

9. Good, Clear Communication
 Nothing is more frustrating for an employee
than ambiguous job expectations, which is
what makes effective communication one of the
most important things for a positive workplace
culture. A positive workplace culture values
clear and open communication among
employees and between employees and
management. This means everyone knows
what’s expected of them and how to
communicate their ideas and concerns
effectively. Managers shouldn’t make
themselves inaccessible but should instead
strive to give their employees frequent
feedback on performance. Employees
themselves should also be encouraged to
communicate with each another and be
provided with the proper tools to do so. All
company communication should stick to three

10. Opportunities for Growth
 The best employees want more than to
just punch a time clock each day for a
paycheck. They want a chance to better
themselves and grow on the job.
Companies with a positive work
environment provide employees with clear
expectations for advancement and the
tools and training needed for success.
This can be done by establishing on-the-
job training programs and creating specific
goals for employees to reach promotions
and raises.

11. Culture of Collaboration
 Humans are social beings who thrive
on working together as a team.
Companies that encourage
collaboration help foster a
camaraderie among employees that
boosts both performance and morale.
Creating a sense of unity makes
employees feel like they are working
for something bigger than themselves.

12. Reward Systems
 Recognizing good work is an
important morale booster and helps
encourage employee engagement.
Employers should have a formal
reward system in place that provides
other benefits to employees who help
meet company objectives. Informal
rewards—like notes, special events, or
gifts—can also make employees feel
valued without greatly affecting a
company’s bottom line.

13. Strong Purpose and Core
Values
 Creating a sense of purpose among
employees is a key ingredient for any
sustainable business. Building a purpose-
driven culture starts first with a set of core
values that are then reflected in the
company’s long-term goals. For businesses
with successful, purpose-driven cultures, the
company’s core values are much more than
just bland mission statements printed on the
back of the employee handbook. These
values should be woven into every one of the
company’s actions. Core values give
employees a clear reason for their work and
can also help uplift the company at large.

14. Managers who invest in their
employees.
 Most people think money is the primary
reason people quit their jobs. However, a
recent study by Gallup found that
managers are responsible for up to 60
percent of all the reasons people quit.
Companies that have created a great
work environment are often made up of
leaders and managers who truly value
their employees and are committed to
helping them grow personally and
professionally.

15. Clarity and condor when
communicating with employees.
 Ambiguity, uncertainty, and gossip are toxic in
any work environment. When employees
aren’t sure about their responsibilities, what
success looks like, and how they’re
performing, it’s really difficult for them to show
up with a desire to “lean in” and give 100%.
On the other hand, work becomes meaningful
to employees when they know how their work
contributions affect the organization.
Companies that have created a great work
environment are absolutely clear with
employees. They avoid inter-office gossip
that talks about employees rather than to
them.

16.  Investing in what it takes to create a
great work environment can seem like
a lot of work. It’s a lot more work than
buying an espresso machine for the
office. It’s far easier for a leader to say,
“Employees just need to get over it,
show up to work, and do their job.”
However, taking the time and effort to
create a great work environment is
worth it.
