The culture of your organization defines it. A positive one is a reflection of employee happiness. When people truly value their jobs, they bring an optimistic attitude and unparalleled enthusiasm to work each day.
Since you’re so immersed in your culture, you might have trouble gauging it. Here’s a look at five signs of a positive company culture, to help you decide if your company is a great place to work.
Low Levels of Turnover
Chances are, most of your employees have worked for a less-than-ideal employer in the past. Therefore, they know a good thing when they see it.
Impressive retention rates vary by industry, but if yours is higher than your competitors’, feel confident you’re doing something very right. Your employees are staying put because they’re truly happy.
Positivity and Encouragement
Satisfied employees are confident in themselves and the value they bring to the company. Therefore, they don’t feel threatened by the success of their peers. Since this is the case, you frequently see people building each other up, instead of behaving in a jealous, catty manner. When someone gets to work on a coveted project or receives a promotion, employees are happy for them and support their continued growth.
Genuine Friendships
At some companies, employees get along for the sake of their jobs, but it’s different at your company. Your halls are filled with laughter and love because people sincerely care for one another. When the workday ends, they regularly go out for happy hour and often socialize on the weekends.
Welcome Approach to Change
When employees don’t see a future with their employer, they resist change, because it requires an investment they’re not interested in making. On the other hand, people who plan to stay put for the foreseeable future are excited to help the company grow. They realize a win for the organization is a win for everyone. They’re both eager to contribute ideas and implement the suggestions of others.
Teamwork Attitude
In a positive work environment, employees collaborate, instead of competing against one another. People commonly work together to find solutions to problems, no matter who was assigned the task at hand. Instead of seeking credit for their contributions, they consider wins a group effort.
