 It should come as no surprise that a positive work environment is a more productive work environment. After all, when people are in such an environment, they’re more likely to be a in a good mood. And when they’re in a good mood, they work more quickly in a more focused manner, thereby producing better results.
And of course, from the company’s perspective, more productivity is closely related to more profitability. So in essence, a more positive work environment is in actuality a more profitable one. With this in mind, below are four tips for creating a positive work environment at your organization: #1—Focus on positive employer branding. This is basically the way in which your company brands itself overall, both to job seekers and candidates and also to current employees. You brand yourself in a positive fashion to attract new job candidates and also to retain the good workers and employees that you currently have. And once again, your brand is the overall experience that you provide to these groups of people. #2—Open and maintain consistent channels of communication. People do not like to feel as though they’re “being left in the dark” about what’s happening at their employer. This relates to both big and small aspects of their job and their employment. That’s why it’s critical to have an efficient and effective top-down model of communication that starts with senior management and trickles all the way down to every single employee. #3—Encourage feedback and suggestions at all levels. Communication, of course, is a two-way street. Whereas you want to communicate with your employees as clearly and as often as you can, you should also be open to their concerns and suggestions. Employees want to feel as though they can share their opinions and be genuinely heard. If they don’t believe then can do that, then they will feel as though they’re being ignored. And if that’s the case, then it’s only a matter of time before their productivity drops, and eventually, before they start looking for gainful employment—and a more positive work environment—somewhere else. #4—Strive to provide a family-type atmosphere. People spend a lot of time at work, in some cases nearly as much time as they spend with the members of their actual family. This is why it’s a good idea to cultivate an environment of celebration, and this starts with celebrating work anniversaries and birthdays. In addition, recognize the achievements of employees in a public way that will show them that the company both cares about their work and wants others to share in the celebration of their accomplishment.
