Corporate Events Topic Three simple ways to start improving your office culture IE March 2017
Two barriers to a positive team culture Practising a positive and fun team culture in your workplace requires… TIME COMMITMENT These two little words can be the barriers for a company culture moving from poor or just bearable to good or even amazing!
Barrier 1 = Time We all have many and various tasks to perform in our job. Particularly in busy times, we focus so heavily on completing tasks, meeting deadlines and getting the job done, we lose sight on enjoying work and operating effectively in teams. In other words, we get too bogged down in day-to-day operations even though we know the value of a positive team culture. The reality is… if we make the time we will reap the rewards!
Barrier 2 = Commitment Many times we are reluctant to make a commitment to a task or project because we don’t know where to start or we lack a little knowledge on the subject. Because the answer may not be immediately clear or conversely we are presented with a confusing number of solutions, this can become a barrier to getting started. The reality is… if we just get started we will improve and the plan can evolve from there!
How to start improving your office culture? • To help you overcome these barriers and get started, here are three team activities your business can implement to practice a positive team culture.
1. Revisit your vision, mission & values as a team Set some time for a meeting to openly discuss with your staff what you are all working towards as a business team and why you all do what you do. The buy-in and cultural lift a session like this can provide is invaluable!
2. Create a closed Facebook group for your staff Encourage your staff to post about the little things they do regularly to promote a positive team culture. You will be surprised how the words, images and vision of what some do will inspire other team members!
3. Schedule a team lunch at regular intervals • It may be once a month in a meeting room or even in the great outdoors. Consider everyone bringing a plate to share and it’s ‘tools down’ for an hour. • This is another very simple and potentially creative way of team building amongst staff!
Wrapping up • There is nothing new or even complex in those three tips… just some simple ways to get started that require a COMMITMENT to implement and a little bit of TIME!
