How to Create a Happy and Productive Work Culture

by @Pranita Jagtap

Most of us spend about a quarter of our lives at work, and it would be safe to say that we hope for something more from that precious time than just a paycheck. Finding a happy and healthy place to work is increasingly important for job seekers, to the extent that 88% of them consider culture an important factor when applying for a position at a company. This is especially true of millennials and younger job seekers, who are often willing to prioritize a positive work culture over salary.

From an employer or management perspective, investing in a happy culture reaps benefits even beyond a better work-life balance and sense of purpose for employees. It also boosts productivity and, therefore, the company’s bottom-line profitability. What’s more, by elevating employee motivation, health, and happiness, leaders can expect cost reductions through lower levels of absenteeism, job turnover, and workers’ compensation. Given the dual factors of increased efficiency and reduced costs, the health of an organization’s culture is actually an excellent long-term predictor of the business’s ability to grow and thrive.

If you feel that your workplace culture is in need of transformation, follow these eight steps.

1.Be a Mentor 

2.Adopt wellness initiatives

3.Promote radical honesty and inclusion 

4.Be flexible 

5.Cultivate job 

6.Reward generously 

7.Be supportive 

8.Put culture first 

Investing in a happy culture reaps benefits beyond giving team members a better work-life balance and a sense of purpose. It also boosts productivity and a company's bottom line.
