9 Ways to Build Engagement and a Positive Culture

Greg Hessel • May 03, 2023

Creating a Great Culture to Work

Every employer wants to have a positive culture and an engaged workforce. Like many things in life, building a positive culture is simple, but not easy. Here is my list of what is required to accomplish that.

·      Let employees know they matter by

o  Listening to them

o  Thanking them

o  Developing them

o  Taking a personal interest in them

o  As much as possible, giving them work that plays to their strengths

o  Giving them as much autonomy as possible

·      Hold everyone accountable to clear standards and expectations 

·      Own your own mistakes and make it safe for others to do so

·      Have leaders invest in developing their own emotional intelligence
