According to the 2023 Harvard Business Review, the best workplace cultures have these four qualities:
Trust: A feeling of psychological safety with one another
Growth: Access to professional development opportunities
Acceptance: A sense of belonging to teams and companies
Flexibility: An adaptive workplace that promotes work-life balance
The best book ever to come out on this topic is CULTURE IS THE NEW LEADERSHIP by Benjamin Ortlip. In it, he masterfully outlines how to pull this off in your own workplace.
Ortlip lays out how great companies inspire Millennials, ignite engagement, and win the war for talent. More specifically, leaders can learn how to master three key motivators: Craft, Cause, and Community.
What I love best is you can contact the author’s company to customize a culture assessment for your team or organization to scientifically determine how well your culture is performing. Click here for details.
