Your Workplace Culture ...


Your Workplace Culture ...

Workplace culture can be considered as:

“How your team perceives their working environment.”

Their attitude at work is influenced by the workplace itself which is usually determined by its leadership.

The catch 22 is that much of the workplace culture will also be determined by the employees hired and the tone that management sets. How you implement your unique small business culture in day-to-day operations can help to attract and retain talent and create a place where people enjoy being.

Good leadership promotes the positive attitudes of employees. A negative culture dampens the mood and results in absenteeism, dissatisfaction, lack of motivation and eventually resignation.

Managers who get the best from their teams inspire a positive workplace culture. Some of the positive influences include: Open management style; Regular feedback both good and bad; Clear goals set out; Fair and equal treatment; Achievements recognised and rewarded.

There are tools and processes you can use to assist you to define your Workplace Culture.  They include: Code of Conduct; Role Descriptions; Performance Indicators; Selection Process; Induction; Appraisals; Playing Team; Team Meetings; and Training.

If you would like a copy of any of the previous Business Boosts relating to the tools & processes  listed above, please send an email to bizplan@brightwater.com.au with the relevant tool/process name in the subject line.
