How to improve and promote healthy workplace culture
Every organisation knows that they are facing tough competition in the market and
also facing many challenges due to the dynamic nature of the business environment (What Is
Work Culture? How to Build a Positive Environment., 2021). It is identified that there are
many external factors and internal factors which provide a positive as well as the negative
impact on the organisational culture (Mills, 2021). Organisational success depends on one of
the important factors which are workplace culture. Different backgrounds and personalities of
individuals in the organisation create many conflicts and complex situations which provide a
negative impact on the success of the company. This is the main reason that it is important to
build a positive environment in the workplace culture. There are some points which are
mentioned below that help to create a positive workplace culture:
Setting clear department goals is found to be one of the important step corrections
which focus on outlining the objectives in the organisation for each time so that employees
are able to work accordingly. With the help of setting clear departmental goals, the
organisation is able to factory guide the individual which increases the performance due to

encouraging collaboration among team numbers (Khumalo, 2018). In this action, it is
important to know that organisation should take feedback from the employees.
Promoting the organisational goals is also one of the important measures or ways
which helps to create a positive environment in the workplace. It is very important that every
employee should know the long term objectives of the organisation as it helps to cultivate
them for a sense of professional purpose (Elfer, 2020). It is also becoming a motivation factor
which assists them to achieve the organisational goals and objectives.
Creating a positive culture can be done with the help of promoting diversity and
inclusivity as the help of this action, employees are felt that they are important to the
organisation and that's why it leads to a positive environment in workplace culture. Every
organisation nose that every individual has a different background and that's why it is
necessary for an organisation to welcome a positive environment and also show an inclusive
workplace culture which helps them to encourage organisational goals and objectives (Raza
and et.al., 2018). When employees get to know that organisation has a divorce culture before
they enter into the organisation they already prepare themselves for the organisational goals
and objectives. In a diverse organisational culture, it is important for an organisation to focus
on inclusivity so that people encouraged to do work in the organisation.
Prioritizing respect is one of the important ways for building a positive environment
in the organisation (Masuda and et.al., 2020). Every individual in the workplace always
wants to get respect from the organisation and its members but there are many organisations
where they are not prioritising the respect. Due to this, employees are not taking interest in
order to complete the organisational goals and objectives.
One of the most important ways help to build a positive and healthy workplace culture
in the organisation is to create an employee recognition program. It is necessary to
understand that every employee wants recognition for their work so it is the responsibility of
the organisation to conduct an employee performance recognition program which provides
awards to the employees according to their performances. It is identified to be the best
method for promoting a healthy workplace culture (Men and Yue, 2019). It is identified that a
recognition program should always be fair because that is many organisations which conduct
a recognition program but still their employees are not happy with the organisation's decision
because of unfair trade practices. It is necessary to involve fair trade practices and decisions
while deciding the rewards for employees. For that purpose, it is crucial for employees to

conduct a performance analysis which can be done with many tools and techniques in the
organisation. The organisation can also use KPI which helps them to achieve the goals and
objectives by analysing the performances of employees. The rewards should be provided by
measuring their performances which facilitate motivation to the employees and also foster a
workplaces culture with friendly competition.
Another method for promoting a healthy workplace culture in the organisation is to
accept and utilise feedback from employees. It is very obvious that every employee has
some problems and suggestions towards the organisation and that's why it is crucial for them
to get an opportunity that gives freedom to the employees for providing another method for
promoting a healthy workplace culture in the organisation is to accept and utilise feedback
from employees (Jia and et.al., 2018). It is very obvious that every employee has some
problems and suggestions towards the organisation and that's why it is crucial for them to get
an opportunity that gives freedom to the employees to provide their feedback to the
organisation. When employees get an opportunity to provide feedback then it becomes
necessary and the responsibility of the organisation they should accept and utilise the
feedback of employees. The work does not end with taking feedback from the employees
because it is necessary to review the feedback of employees also. Proper analysis and
evaluation of feedback are necessary which helps them to take the right actions in order to
reduce the complaints of employees.
Foster collaboration and communication are found to be the important methods
which focus on building a healthy work please culture in the organisation. It is everybody
knows that every person has a different mind-set and perception which is the main reason for
creating conflicts but it can be overcome when the employees have good communication as
well as collaboration with other employees of an organisation. That's why it is suggested to
the organisation that they should foster collaboration and communication in order to make a
positive as well as healthy workplace culture (Agumba and Haupt, 2018). In the collaboration
and communication organisation, it is identified that there are no conflicts because of
ineffective communication. It is also analysed that people are ready to work with other
numbers of organisations which are only found in collaboration organisations. So the
company needs to focus on the activities which help to increase collaboration and effective
communication among team members. It is necessary to understand for employees that they
should help another person then only they will be able to achieve the organisation's goals and
objectives.

It is necessary to understand that leadership and management style is also playing a
very important role in order to make a positive workplace culture as it increases the
encouragement of teamwork (Korman, 2020). With the help of effective leadership and
management style, organisations are able to create open and honest communication which
makes the organisation transparent. People are able to trust other people and also encourage
for working with other people as well. Leadership and management style is found to be the
important factor which creates a direct impact on the organisation of the workplace. So that's
why it is suggested to the organisation that they need to do for selecting a leadership and
management style according to the requirement of the workplace. With this action, the
company is able to achieve its goals and objectives. It is identified that effective leadership
and management is style is also fostering the collaboration and communication (Lowe, 2020).
For example, if an organisation follows a democratic leadership style then people are feeling
important to the organisation because they have a right to give their opinions and suggestions
in the decision-making process. This is really very helpful for encouraging them towards the
organisation of goals and objectives.
These are the important methods which are suggested to the organisation that helps to
promote a healthy workplace culture in the organisation. It is identified that these methods
can become successful only when the organisation is effectively executed each action
according to the organisation's needs and requirements (Haas and Hwang, 2019). This is the
reason that organisations should understand the requirements of the workplace first and also
try to understand the behaviour of employees which helps them to give the real situation of
the company. When a company is able to know what are the situations are going on in the
workplace then they are able to think about the execution of ways which promote a healthy
workplace culture. It is identified that when the company is able to know the employee's
needs and wants then they are able to take a decision that which factor improves the
workplace culture.
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the above discussion that work is culture is actually made of
because of people. People have different backgrounds and cultures which makes a work
environment. This report analysed factors which influence the workplace culture such as
leadership, management, etc. It is also analysed that company needs to focus on improving
and promoting a healthy work culture in the organisation because it leads to the success and

growth of the company. This report included many important ways which help to promote the
workplace culture in the organisation including fostering collaboration and communication,
