Creating a positive culture – what you need to know and do
As the pandemic resets major work trends, leaders need to rethink workforce and employee planning, management, performance and engagement strategies. These will all have an impact on the culture of the organisation.
It is commonly understood that a positive workplace culture improves teamwork, raises morale, increases productivity and efficiency, and enhances retention of the workforce. However, the strategies in place pre-pandemic may no longer be fit for purpose.
During this webinar we will be discussing what is culture, why has it never been more important than right now and what businesses should do to ensure that they have a positive culture that will contribute to business success.
