Cultivate a positive atmosphere in the workplace to increase productivity and employee satisfaction.

We all want to work at a job where we have minimal stress, maximum productivity, and just generally feel good about being there. That’s the ideal. So why do so many workplaces fail to reach that standard? That’s hard to say, but Labor Solutions has some tips for cultivating a more positive environment at work.

3 Tips for Creating a Positive Work Environment

At Labor Solutions, we understand that many businesses work under a certain amount of pressure. However, it’s important to remember that a higher level of workplace stress can lead to increased absenteeism, errors, and accidents. Help make everyone happier and safer by implementing these simple suggestions.

  • Create a positive mission statement. Your mission statement should be clearly stated, motivational, and an honest proclamation of your company’s ethics and values. It should be prominently displayed and woven into the company’s standard communications, such as training and review processes. Find what is inspiring about your company and broadcast it!
  • Keep communication open. People need to know what is expected of them, and what is going on around them at work. Avoid confusion and hard feelings by being explicit in stating what you need from employees. Maintain as much transparency as possible about the processes that they are part of. Make sure that managers and supervisors are available and approachable so that workers feel comfortable asking questions or discussing various issues.
  • Nurture a sense of family at work. Designate a central location for workplace socialization and celebrations. Acknowledge the special events in people’s lives that they share. Make it a habit to recognize the accomplishments of all team members – from the temp who just started to the long-hauler who’s been there since day one. People like to feel noticed and appreciated.
