Prioritizing Culture In The Workplace

Enhancing DEI and mental health efforts have held importance in the workplace for years, but companies are finally prioritizing initiatives. At Voltage Control, we believe that making culture a priority in the workplace is the right thing to do and the human thing to do. Additionally, an inclusive-centric work environment increases collaboration, productivity, creativity, engagement, retention, and employee satisfaction.
?85% of respondents said culture is a driving factor in the success of their organization. -?Work Now?2022 report
These efforts only work if companies ensure teams feel safe and nurture a sense of belonging. It’s critical organizations turn their commitment into action by leaning into resources that can guide this work in a meaningful way.
One tool that we recommend is?MURAL. Not only does this resource help you explore ideas that may be hidden throughout your team, but you can also utilize it to discover the level of psychological safety present in your team. We have created a?template?that you can use with your team to explore this because psychological safety allows teams to innovate, be creative and increase team effectiveness.?
We understand inclusion by design efforts are not always easy to implement, therefore, we are pleased to announce the release of?Work Now, a comprehensive report on the state of work and where it’s going. In the report, we surveyed organizational leaders on common workplace areas of interest including collaboration, DEI, remote environments, and mental health.
This report covers findings, analysis, and changes in the way companies work now, along with insights on what’s to come in the future along with the crucial questions we all should be asking. The dynamic overview will shed light on how leaders are unlocking the potential of their teams as the workplace continues to evolve. By better understanding the challenges leaders face, you can start crafting and implementing solutions to support a healthy workplace culture.
