Cómo enfrentar el reto de mantener un buen ambiente laboral

Read Time:2 Minute

The average working hours in Mexico last 8 hours, during which a group of people with different personalities and ideas has to coexist. Keeping a positive work environment is the key for a joint effort toward an organization’s success.

According to the study “El Gran Desgaste: renuncia en México,”1 4 out of 10 Mexican employees are willing to leave their job in the next six months. The prominent factors are lack of values, unhealthy work environment, not being appraised, or taking tasks unrelated to their position.

Guaranteeing a quality and trustworthy workplace that inspires employee participation and commitment plays a major role in an organization’s productivity and growth. 

How to improve the work environment?

A course of action to consider when creating a healthy dynamic and a better workplace in your company is:

1. Keeping open communication

Cultivating open and effective communication is vital when building a healthy work environment and culture. It is crucial to create tools to have open and respectful communication between team members, creating an environment where they are comfortable sharing their ideas, opinions, and questions and solving conflicts.

With this, you will also promote new ideas, viewpoints, and solutions. These actions translate into more benefits, such as a lower turnover rate, greater employee commitment to responsibilities, improved productivity, and more.

2. Recognition and rewards

It is a must to evaluate the job and effort of each employee to motivate them with their work and reward their commitment. Actively acknowledge their value to the company, boost the group performance, and promote personal and professional growth.

It can be achieved through financial incentives, benefits, promotions, or even verbal recognition.

3. A respectful and tolerant culture

It is indispensable to prove your company nurtures a work and cultural environment of respect and tolerance towards others, regardless of origin, gender, or sexual orientation. This includes establishing rules and policies to promote inclusion and mutual respect.

4. Team-building activities

If the goal is improving the work environment, implementing integration activities helps member unity and builds a better workplace.

There are many alternatives for activities, from group outings to birthday celebrations in the office, lunch or dinner breaks, or more formal events such as workshops or trips.

5. A work environment with a nice physical place

The company’s physical space plays a key role in motivating employees. A clean, organized, and well-lit workplace positively impacts mood and productivity. 

From this approach, other measures to improve the workplace are worth considering, such as painting with colors that help with focus or better performance, allowing members to personalize their space, integrating music and aromas, and including phrases with the company’s values and mission.

Which are the benefits of a good work environment?

Motivated and satisfied workers improve productivity, reduce labor turnovers, and foster commitment to company and team goals.

Henceforth, implementing actions in favor of a positive work environment helps reduce worker stress, letting them enjoy a healthier quality of life, physically and mentally. With this, both employees and the company have positive outcomes.
