Below are some ideas to implement in ten minutes per day which are going to improve company culture.
Sincerely say “thanks”
Four of five workers who feel appreciated remain with their organizations.
Embody a core value per day
At the start of a day, take a moment to think about your organization’s core values then choose one to concentrate on for the whole day.
Say sorry
Very few things may endear you to your workers like saying you’re sorry; humility includes a characteristic individuals enjoy seeing in their leaders.
Buy treats
You should never underestimate the value of afternoon sugar pick-me-ups. As you are out and about, take some time to surprise the office with donuts, ice cream bars, or something equally simple and sweet.
Read
You potentially come across several worthwhile articles each day when perusing the Web; however, if you are like most individuals, you just do not have the time to read them. You might skim a few every once and a while, yet that is about it. As you are wanting to improve company culture, develop a “company culture” folder upon your computer. As you come across culture-associated content (such as this post!) save them inside your folder.
Brainstorm
You can frequently set aside a couple of minutes and actively attempt to come up with ideas which will improve company culture. It’ll work better if you keep consistent notes upon areas of company culture you feel require improvement. You may include additional trusted advisors or go it alone, yet the point is you vigilantly must consider your culture. At first, you might not have any ideas; however, if you do it consistently enough, you eventually will come up with a few really great ideas. It is just a matter of time.
