We live in our work culture, we spend most active years of our age at different workplaces &we build memories at workplaces. Having said that, it makes workplaces the important part of our life where we grow, we learn, we network, we develop and we achieve success. Creating a community culture at workplaces is one thing organizations should accomplish. What is the right work culture? Can we define it? How can the work culture be categorized to ensure that an employee feels encouraged to perform and to achieve? In order to create a community work culture an organization should consider: ADFHS (A)Adaptability – Provide an open culture to the employees so that they can adapt to it. An open culture like No SIR /MAM, One to One Discussion, inviting ideas from cross departments, etc gives confidence to employee to become adaptable. (D) Diversity – Creating a group of diverse employees not only results in increased productivity but it also fosters creativity. Different ages, cultures, religions, geographies, languages, regions, genders makes an organization’s culture unique and makes workplaces; FUN! (H) Harassment–This needs no introduction. Whilst we are aware of different forms of Harassment, what can we do to ensure that an employee feels safe is not the concern instead How can we bring employees to the comfort zone of standing against any kind of harassment? Is! (S) Sensitivity – Being sensitive means noticing every small thing, caring for employee’s feelings and thinking before talking. When creating a culture, all levels should be taught about beings sensitive to all above as every employee is different. In every organizations, the culture should be driven by top to bottom as it is always LEAD By EXAMPLE and not the other way round. Building a community culture by following ADFHS will make a workplace GO TO place for employees which will result in higher productivity & lower attrition.
