The Power of a Positive Work Culture

Here’s why a healthy workplace culture is crucial for employee well-being. 
Today’s workplace culture has significantly changed through the years. While most employees or job seekers disregard an organization’s work culture, studies show that a positive working environment can heavily impact a person’s well-being. 

A study by the University of Warwick found that happy employees were 12% more productive than unhappy employees. The study also found that employees who were happy and engaged at work were less likely to take sick days and more likely to stay with their employer for a longer period of time. On the other hand, Harvard Business Review found that organizations with positive workplace cultures had more engaged, committed, and productive employees. 

Why Is a Positive Work Culture Important?
Benefits and good compensation can sometimes blind an employee into thinking that work culture doesn’t matter — but in the long run, work culture plays a big role in whether they achieve job satisfaction or not. Here are three other reasons why a positive work culture is crucial to an individual’s career success:
Better Physical and Mental Health 
Companies that prioritize and implement a positive work culture value an employee’s health and well-being. It could be through wellness programs, mental health resources, and other ways to make the workplace fun which can also reduce the risk of burnout and other issues. 
 
Opportunities for Growth and Development 
An organization that strongly supports a positive work culture may prioritize employee development through training and other professional growth opportunities that can advance their careers. This can lead to individuals achieving job satisfaction and motivation making them more efficient and productive at work. 
Stronger relationships with colleague
A positive work culture fosters an environment of mutual respect, trust, and teamwork. When an employee is happy and isn’t too pressured at work, they tend to be more productive individually or with a group. It also increases their job satisfaction as they have a better relationship with their co-workers.
