Developing Culture That Brings Out The Best In Employees

It's more important than ever for organizations to create strong and positive work cultures. A healthy work culture influences employee behavior and shapes the overall work environment, impacting everything from employee engagement and satisfaction to innovation and profitability. However, building a positive work culture is not an easy task. It requires careful planning, effort, and most importantly, a commitment from leadership to prioritize employee success and well-being.

This newsletter shares insights and guidance for developing a work culture that brings out the best in employees. The newsletter features videos, infographics, and podcasts from thought leaders including Jonathan Fields, Kalifa Oliver, Ph.D., Jacob Morgan, Wendy Fong, Paulo Savaget, Liz Fosslien, Russel Lolacher, Chris White, and more.

Learn about the five most common organizational structures; which are the functional, unit, matrix, network, and boundaryless or process structures.

How scary is it that most leaders and managers are not engaged?!?! If those making decisions in your organization are not engaged, you can surely expect most of your organization's employees to not be engaged either.

On this episode of Jonathan Fields' SPARKED, Paulo Savaget shares his perspective on what he calls The Four Workarounds, and how some of the most valuable lessons about problem-solving can be learned from the scrappiest groups instead of large global corporations.

"If you are in leadership, then guess what? You work in HR too. As a leader you are ultimately responsible for your people, and that is very much an HR responsibility. As a leader you need to know your employees as human beings, not just as workers. You need to know what your people care about, and what they value... You as a leader need to unlock their potential, and you are the one who needs to make sure that they succeed."

Learn why any leader or manager needs to understand HR in this short & sweet video from Jacob Morgan.

The evolution of the employee in the past decade or two is truly fascinating. Technology has opened up opportunity and freedom to the common man in a way never previously possible. Organizations must take these evolutions into account, and ensure they're fulfilling them through their company culture and employee experience. If organizations aren't aware of and accommodating these ways employees have evolved, they're likely to be heavily hindered in countless ways including employee retention.
