Why Building A Positive Company Culture Impacts Employee’s Satisfaction

According to Forbes.com, company culture affects nearly every aspect of a company. From recruiting top talent to improving employee satisfaction, it’s the backbone of a happy workforce. Companies voted Best Place to Work are successful for a reason. These organizations tend to have strong, positive corporate cultures. Employees feel valued and part of the equation; leading them to perform their best at work.

Here are just a few benefits of building a positive company culture, according to Forbes contributor Alan Kohll:

• Recruitment.  Positive culture gives an organization a competitive advantage. A company with a positive culture will attract the type of talent that is willing to make their next workplace a home, rather than just a stepping-stone.
• Employee loyalty.  A positive culture fosters a sense of employee loyalty. Employees are much more likely to stay with their current employer when they feel they are treated right and enjoy going to work every day.
• Job satisfaction.  Employers who invest in the well-being of their employees will be rewarded with happy, dedicated employees
• Collaboration.  A positive culture facilitates social interaction, teamwork, and open communication.
• Work performance. Strong company cultures have been linked to higher rates of productivity. This is because employees tend to be more motivated and dedicated to employers who invest in their well-being and happiness.
• Employee morale.  Employees naturally feel happier and enjoy their work more when they work in a positive environment.
• Less stress. Companies with a strong corporate culture tend to see less stressed employees, which helps boost both employee health and work performance.

Any company can build a positive culture no matter their size or budget. At Bards Consulting we believe the road to a successful company culture comes from its continued investment in its employee’s happiness, well-being and sense of community.
