A strong, supportive, and satisfying workplace culture is not made. It is earned. It requires persistent leadership that puts the good of the team ahead of any individual.
But screen printing and custom merchandise printing are hard.
You're tasking your team with a job thats physically demanding, mentally challenging, and repetitive – often at wages that are comparable to much easier jobs. That's why keeping a great workplace culture in your business is a fundamental building block for long-term success.
So what should you look for? How do you start building a great culture?
1. There's natural collaboration and teamwork
Openness and mutual support lay the groundwork for a satisfying work culture. Your team backs each other up, and knows when and how to get help.
Here's how this looks in practice:
- Your team is comfortable asking each other for help. There are no "off-limits" topics and no "stupid questions."
- Your team collaborates to solve challenges. When there's a big challenge, the team all pitches in their knowledge and efforts to get things accomplished.
- Your team is open about problems they're having. No one hides errors or is terrified of doing something wrong.
- Your team has systems in place to get help. There's some formal way for anyone to ask for and get help.
When a team naturally collaborates, they're invested in each others' success. They prefer a positive outcome for the entire team. They are willing to stop what they're doing and help others – and in return, they know that they can count on the rest of the team to help them when the time comes. This creates a powerful bond and sense of assurance that enables your team to tackle bigger challenges than any individual alone could.
