IWH 1003 - Positive Workplace Culture

Advancements in technology and a laser focus on process improvement and cost reductions have allowed us to "do more, with less". This kind of workplace culture has led to an increase in toxic workplace environments. In short, employees are burning out and that impacts the bottom line and the ability to maintain an engaged and mentally healthy workforce.

Tasked with an increased workload, reduced resources, and ambitious performance expectations, today's employees can present with an increase in absenteeism/presenteeism, increased attrition, reduced productivity, and mental health concerns.

Many programs designed to help improve workplace culture, engagement, and productivity do so by identifying and addressing deficit areas, rather than building a framework that fosters an environment in which employees can develop and grow. In a positive workplace culture, leaders can encourage and support the skills and resiliency that allow their staff to feel seen, heard, and appreciated.
