Cultivate your garden...
Work, play & wellness...
Create an environment using the following formula:
(laughter + escape) x wellness=productivity
With a rewards driven compensation and benefits package in place, your employees will be healthier emotionally and physically, leading to increased morale and productivity. Many startups are introducing unlimited vacation packages; however, ask yourself if the message this policy sends in fact encourages or discourages employees to take vacation. Does your office offer unlimited unhealthy snacks because this option is less expensive than healthy options? Are your employees encouraged to get out of the office for a walk in the middle of the day to get the circulation flowing? How often do you hear laughter in the hallways? Do you encourage or incentivize your employees to help others by volunteering time? Many of these options, which appear expensive to implement, are in fact, just the opposite. A healthy, happy workforce will produce better results and, your customers will reap the benefits.
If you're planning to grow a garden, you practice the art of cultivating by starting at the root system. The same principle holds true when growing your business. Cultivating your people is an imperative. Without your people, regardless of your industry, your business will stagnate. This is why it is important to have strong human resources processes in place. If systems are not in place to manage your most important asset, then eventually morale will be affected and your garden will wilt. If you were to ask departing employees during an exit interview for honest feedback about your business, are you confident that their responses would be positive? Are your employees encouraged to provide ongoing feedback at all levels of the organization? Let us help you cultivate your garden to create a more productive workplace.
Maintaining mindfulness...
As Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk, stated, “Don’t do any task in order to get it over with. Resolve to do each job in a relaxed way, with all your attention. Enjoy and be one with your work.” If practiced properly, mindfulness in the workplace can actually boost productivity. Further, it teaches us to regulate our emotions, which in turn leads to more effective communication and outcomes.
Creating your culture...
The business world is abuzz with discussions related to corporate culture and for good reason. Organizational culture is defined and modeled by leadership and from there it trickles down. Does your culture match the culture you envisioned? Do your employees embrace your mission? Do you even have one? We can help you answer these questions and strategize a solution.
