Building a Culture of Positivity: 10 Techniques for the Workplace

Work culture is a set of shared values, beliefs, and attitudes that guide your workplace. While some cultures develop naturally through the mix of people in a company, others are intentionally created to boost employee morale and help the organization thrive. A positive work culture does exactly that.

From a company’s mission and its management to employee benefits and growth opportunities, a positive company culture helps to keep workers engaged. When you have a good culture, not only can you attract top talent, but you can keep the people who matter most to your company. Companies with a culture of positivity have higher job satisfaction, productivity, and morale than their competitors.
