Building a team is a two-way street. On one side, your employees agree to use their talents and experience to drive the organization forward. On the other hand, companies agree to compensate them for their work.

But there’s more to it than that. Setting your team up for success, especially in hybrid settings, comes down to the emotional, intellectual, and physical ways you support them.

Did you know that research from Deloitte shows that 94% of executives and 88% of employees think a positive corporate culture is essential for a company’s success?

A positive work environment also:

• Increases employee happiness by as much as 33%.

• Prevents or reduces long-term sick leave.

• Boosts productivity, creativity, and profitability.

• Decreases employee turnover, in some cases by 58%.

• Increases company revenue by 33%

Benefits of Creating a Positive Work Environment

Hire great team members.

Successful businesses know that a positive work environment starts with hiring the right people. Make sure your employees are professional and team players. The same idea translates to those who are already in the office. When employees work with toxic people, they are more likely to become toxic themselves, leading to a toxic work environment.

Help your employees find a comfortable work environment

Remember back in March 2020 when we suddenly found ourselves WFH (working from home)? Wherever your employees are working, they need to feel empowered and comfortable to do their best work. This means supporting them in creating comfortable home offices and workspaces.

Protect Employees Mental Health

According to the Mental Health Foundation, 14.7% of employees encounter mental health problems at work. Women in full-time employment are also twice as likely to struggle with mental health issues. So, it’s possible that your employees could experience mental health problems while working for your company.

Improve communication.

Be mindful of how you interact with employees. Team members and upper management should focus on their communication methods and the effects they have on creating a positive work environment.

Recognize hard work

It’s a good idea to reward an employee who does a good job. Recognizing individuals who work hard will encourage them to keep up the great work. It also instills the notion that hard work is acknowledged and appreciated and encourages other employees to strive for the same recognition.

Have some fun 

Your employees are spending eight hours of their day in the office. Maintaining a professional environment is important, but that doesn’t mean it has to be dull. A happier employee will perform much better than a miserable one.

Listen to everyone’s ideas

Your entire team has great ideas. They’re in the trenches all day, bringing their experience and perspectives to the part of the project they’re focused on. For example, if there’s a way to make spreadsheets more efficient or cold calls more productive, the team members’ know-how.
