Creating a Positive Workplace Culture
Team culture in a workplace is what personality is to an individual – an essential!
The People Passion team are committed to creating a healthy culture that drives engagement, happiness and balance. Our Culture Club is led by Sarah, Daisy and Ella, with the purpose of driving our culture throughout the year, to prep and plan exciting things for the team and provide some ideas to our clients – and of course, have a bit of fun amongst the chaos!
Team culture is different for every business, having a healthy, defined culture is what attracts candidates, creates a sense of connection between the employee and the business and provides a healthier workplace environment.
A healthy culture is created by having clear expectations of acceptable behaviour, celebrating achievements, having Leaders who lead by example… and of course, holding team events. It can be simple things such as having a themed day at the office, planning a team drinks, having a wellness challenge or even having an Easter egg hunt (spoiler alert for our People Passion team).
While these types of events are always so much fun, it is the smaller aspects mentioned earlier that will create your foundation. Next time something awesome happens in your workplace… CELEBRATE IT! One of your team mates is having a rough day?… flick them a positive, uplifting message of encouragement! It starts with the small things that ultimately build up to having a great team culture.
We are all adjusting to this new ‘norm’ and it’s the perfect time to consider if you need a culture reset. If you are wanting to start your own Culture Club, or want to explore and understand team culture more and what this may look like for you and your business, then get in touch with our team on 0800 HR FOR U.
