Creating a Positive Work Culture in Organisations
course
Management & Leadership
Course Overview
Work culture can be either positive or negative due to many factors like leadership practices, employee behaviour, and policies. Employees spend a third of their day in the workplace, and being in a poor work culture impacts their well-being, productivity, and performance negatively, leading to higher turnover and retention rates. Of course, this is not what companies are looking for, so they should pay more attention to creating a work culture where employees feel they belong.
We designed the “Creating a Positive Work Culture in Organisations” course to guide leaders and managers to create and foster a positive work culture within their organizations. Throughout the course, participants will gain a fundamental understanding of positive work culture, including benefits, characteristics, and elements. They will understand the role of leadership in fostering a positive culture and the skills required for that.
This course equips participants with tools and strategies to motivate employees, improve their well-being, integrate new employees into the organisation’s culture, implement continuous improvement, and manage conflicts. For constant improvement, participants will learn to assess work culture to determine the effectiveness of positive work culture strategies and areas for improvement.
