"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life." - Wayne Dyer
Every organizations employer-employee relationship across the globe will resonate with this thought so well expressed by the writer. Both the employer-employee come together to start an organization which with their vision and foresight will grow, flourish and prosper in abundance but which they both have to nurture with their love, patience, hard-work and dedication. Is all this possible when the organization works in a toxic environment? These are some of the key pointers that will help us nurture a positive work culture which will promote employee job satisfaction and security. Let’s find out.
Evaluate Long-term Employees
Happy employees who have been in the company for many years, the reasons are that they have been offered continuous opportunities for growth, experiment and risk. If the company has allowed a valuable employee to stay on, whose continuous efforts through the ability of experimenting and risk taking has yielded growth and prosperity then this one factor alone tells us the values on which the organization was built. Feel free asking new co-workers who have joined prior to you about their experiences of working with the current organization.
Nurture Friendships
Having like-minded and great colleagues on the professional front is indeed wonderful, but do not let that remain within the four walls of the company. Nurture these friendships even outside the office because you trust that the professional dynamics will also be just as positive.
A Positive Environment Impacts Employee Well-Being
An encouraging and a positive work environment contributes to the mental and physical well-being among employees. It motivates the employee to come to work daily no matter how far he lives or how bad the weather maybe. Employers who attend regular workshops to upgrade their skills and expertise are encouraged to shower praise, express a gratitude or say a thank you to colleagues who have performed exceptionally well for the company by giving a gift or treating them to an exclusive dinner party to express their emotions. In such a positive environment employees stick to their jobs right up to their retirement age. Kindness and compassion go a long way in forging strong bonds in human relationships. Every employee deserves a good boss. Isn’t it?
A Positive Environment Promotes Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is one of the major factors that make people stick to one company for many years. Nobody likes to work in a toxic work culture where individuals or a group of people are busy tarnishing the image of other employees and the company as well. Transparency and open mindedness are the two important factors that people love and want it from all levels of management and they will put their heart and soul into their work. Even if the pay check is less there are many employees who stick to their favourite workplace only for its culture and the values that they uphold and the rest follows on its own.
Positive Work Culture Fosters a Higher Purpose
Human beings do not want to limit themselves to just earning a monthly salary, they seek a higher purpose in life. Once an individual settles in with his company and achieves job satisfaction and a great work culture, he aims at achieving a higher purpose in life and in this way he keeps himself engaged in the growth of the company. In this way the company entrusts him with important projects and valuable information which they expect the employee to respect and honour.
Customer Satisfaction
Employees are the direct representatives of the company and when meeting a customer the employees’ commitment and integrity towards the company is reflected in the way he interacts with his customer. An employee acts like a glue between the customer and the company by binding them together.
These are some of the ways organizations can work towards nurturing a great work culture for the mutual benefit of both the employer and the employee. In the long run what matters is not the profits that you have earned but the people’s lives that you have impacted in your own way. Get inspired and continue to inspire all the people whom you meet in this journey called life.
