The Importance of Work Morale and Company Culture

It goes without saying, that the well-being of employees, along with maintaining a positive work environment should be on every company’s priority list.

Because a happy employee tends to be a hard-working employee - and that’s great for business.

Similarly, company culture is just as important. Workers who enjoy being at work are happier and again… work harder.

5 Ways To Lift Those Spirits, Moods And Vibes

1. Continue To Promote Company Culture

Just because your employees are working from home, most certainly doesn’t mean company culture should fly out the window. Your company’s image, voice, vibes and policies must remain the same.

It also won’t hurt to remind your employees that office company rules are still in play - e.g workers are allowed a paid lunch and/or can “clock out” at 5 pm.

Because miscommunication leads to stress and stress leads to sadness.

2. Maintain Social Activities And Work Relationships

They do say distance makes the heart grow fonder, so make sure your company makes the most of the time apart.

If weekly drinks were a thing - do continue those virtually. Have your employees log in to Skype/Zoom/Team with a Coke, Pepsi, beer, or a Quaran-tini in hand, because, yes please and we can all cheers to that.

Remember, working remotely can also be extremely lonely for some. So make sure you have a Whatsapp/Slack group to recreate that office kitchen area and boost their mindset. They can share memes to chit-chat about the day, the dog, or their kids.

Then, brace yourself, setting up virtual dance breaks, where employees can shake a limb or two, could be loads of fun and generate loads of smiles too! You could also create a virtual book club or have workers partake in an online game tournament. The social possibilities are endless.
