Workplace culture is the character and personality of an organization. It's what makes an organization unique and is the sum of its values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviors, and attitudes. Positive workplace culture attracts talent, drives engagement, impacts happiness and satisfaction, and affects performance. Unfortunately, organisations let their workplace culture form naturally without first defining what they want it to be.
Recent research by Deloitte has shown that 88% of employees and 94% of executives link business success to corporate culture. Establishing a culture within a workplace environment takes a lot of time and repetition. Still, it takes a committed group of individuals to ensure that standards are maintained, especially in an aged care facility. Unlike the vast majority of workplaces, aged care facilities are homes to the residents within its walls; thus, leaders must create an environment that operates more like a collaborative community instead of the typical workplace.
Excellent care requires upper management that encourages dialogue from their staff regarding process improvement due to residents' ever-changing needs. Our guest for today, Sophie Bretag, is a human resource specialist who's passionate about workplace culture, employee well-being, industrial relations and Return to Work strategies. We talk about forming connections with your team, the benefits of a highly functioning team, and workplace culture.
