Pleasant and supportive company culture is imperative for the overall health of your employees as well as your business. The average person will spend 1\/3 of his or her life working; <\/span>that’s 90,000 hours over the course of one lifetime<\/span><\/a>. When working is such a large part of our lives, it makes sense to be in an environment where we feel appreciated and appropriately compensated from paychecks to health benefits.<\/span> Most people will go through seven or eight jobs by the age of 30.\u00a0\u00a0We can surmise that company culture plays a huge role in a person\u2019s motivation and longevity in any given position or company. No matter how much money a person makes or how high they\u2019re able to climb the ladder, if the overall work culture isn\u2019t satisfying, they\u2019re not satisfied, their work will suffer, and it will take a toll on your business.<\/span> You can cultivate an encouraging and supportive company culture by implementing the following recommendations:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hire your company’s demographic\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Hire people who <\/span>genuinely believe in your business<\/span><\/a> and your mission. When you interview<\/a> candidates, <\/span>ask thoughtful questions<\/span><\/a> that will provoke more thoughtful answers such as, \u201cHow would you describe your working style?\u201d \u201cDescribe your ideal work environment,\u201d and \u201cTell me what you liked and didn\u2019t like about previous employers\u2019 company culture.\u201d Questions like these encourage personal answers that will give you a better idea of whether they\u2019re the type of person that would complement your team.\u00a0<\/span>When your employees are on board with the mission, they\u2019re engaged in the job and want to help the company thrive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Make employee wellness a priority<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Healthy employees mean a more positive workplace.\u00a0Ensure that your employees have the tools and resources needed to live their healthiest lives by <\/span>providing on-site healthcare<\/span><\/a> opportunities like a meditation room, a fitness center, or even giving employees more paid personal days per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Give employees ownership<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Stock options, company performance bonuses, and retirement plans are often reduced when a company is looking to cut costs. Time and time again, though, companies that invest in these perks have happier and more productive employees, thus higher rates of productivity and profits. If your employees feel that they have some ownership in their place of work and that what they do directly affects the bottom line, they\u2019ll be more invested in it overall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hire a coaching team<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Hire business coaches to work with employees at all levels in your company to encourage job growth, teach leadership skills, help them execute more significant ideas, and achieve bigger goals both personally and at work. Overall, the support to grow and take on new opportunities or responsibilities within the company ensures happy employees who feel appreciated and secure in their position. By <\/span>investing in their constant education<\/span><\/a> and training, you\u2019re showing them you value them, their work, want them to stick around, and want them to keep doing their best for themselves, just as much as they are motivated to do their best for the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Be<\/i><\/b> a coach<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Employees respect leaders who <\/span>lead by example<\/span><\/a>, aren\u2019t afraid to admit their mistakes and get their hands dirty like everyone else. They appreciate leaders who have done the work they do and are inspired by leaders who have succeeded in the goals they set for themselves. Being a\u00a0<\/span>boss<\/span><\/i> tends to instill feelings of dread or fear amongst most workers. However, being a coach, offering guidance, and empowering your teams help to create a comfortable workplace where employees feel safe to communicate needs, questions, and ideas. Take the time to speak to and coach each employee individually as well. The interest in their wellbeing and job development will give them a priceless self-esteem boost.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Give feedback<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Give employees feedback<\/span><\/a> as soon as it\u2019s relevant so any hiccups can be addressed right away. Talk to employees one-on-one, so they don\u2019t feel called out or put on the spot if there are areas of improvement needed. Your advice is more likely to be received and followed if you keep the mood light and frame your words kindly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Accept feedback<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Be an excellent listener<\/span><\/a>. Encourage employees to give you and your business feedback as well. For starters, you might offer anonymous employee surveys which allow you to tackle issues employees might not feel comfortable bringing up directly and make changes that improve the way their needs are met at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ask Great Questions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Ask your employees<\/span><\/a> what they think will work on a new project, how they came to that conclusion, and if they have other ideas in case they need a second plan of attack. Give your employees a chance to invest more of themselves and their ideas into their work. Encourage them to be creative and troubleshoot in their own ways. Empowering your employees in this way means you\u2019ll have people bringing you more solutions rather than problems. Eventually, this autonomy will let you focus your energy on more challenging issues because you\u2019ll know your company is in capable hands.<\/span> The best way to create a positive and supportive company culture is to show your employees you value them by investing in them. Provide amenities, services, coaching, and care that inspires personal and workplace development and nourishes the mental and emotional health of your staff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> If you\u2019re passionate about creating a top-notch company culture for your employees, you can learn more by joining <\/span>CoachDiversity Institute<\/span><\/a> for a special event on Oct. 3<\/span>rd<\/span>, 2019.
