This past week I focused on office culture and environment. Rewarding and keeping your employees, direct reports or anyone that you work with happy should be a priority for yourself or your leadership teams. It doesn’t matter what you build, what you sell or even provide to customers, you can’t do it without the people that work for you.

We all strive for that harmony that keeps the company moving forward – sometimes it is the little things outside of bonuses, perks and paid days off that will make a difference for your teams.

Your office culture and environment can be the difference of keeping your employees happy.

Monday Update
This week I want to spend a little time on work environments and culture – two things that make work either very enjoyable or unbearable for team members.

Open work spaces vs closed work spaces?

Tuesday Update
What are the little things that your organization does to make work fun and enjoyable for your employees to come into work?

Wednesday Update
Tenure is a good indicator of culture and how much employees like working at their current place of employments.

How long have you been at your current place of employment?
