If you get a salary increase
I completely agree. The workplace is where individuals spend a significant portion of their time outside of their homes, making it essential to be in a positive and supportive environment. No one should wake up each day feeling uncertain about whether they want to go to work. A healthy workplace culture is fundamental to both professional growth and overall well-being.
Absolutely agree! Another key element is fostering open communication. Encouraging team members to voice their opinions and ideas without fear of judgment can lead to innovative solutions and a more cohesive team. Additionally, promoting continuous learning and development can keep employees engaged and motivated. Investing in their growth shows that you value their future, not just their current output. Great leaders also celebrate diversity and inclusion, creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. These actions collectively contribute to a thriving and positive work environment. 🌟 #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement
Having a toxic environment workplace can drain you Even deteriorate your health not even the salary you make is worth giving up your integrity yourself respect Toxic people especially work place can make you unhappy when you're not comfortable You can't do The best that you can When you are comfortable working in a workplace that respect you that has good communication Giving you the recognition that you deserve.You feel good about yourself You will go up and beyond your job of duty.
While I understand the sentiment and agree that a healthy work environment is important to overall happiness and success, I find the wording of this comes from a place of privilege. A salary increase is more than one day of happiness - it’s reflected in every pay check going forward (maybe a one-time bonus is what the author meant). At a time when top executives and CEOs are earning disproportionately much more than their employees, a fair salary increase/livable wage can mean the world to someone, much more than one day of happiness
Absolutely True, but more than a healthy place it is a healthy manager that makes you happy and keeps you motivated towards work.
Love this insight
So easy but yet so hard for some. Support, encouragement, development, and recognition are exponentially more powerful than negative communication and the proverbial "stick" in the belief the more poorly we make people feel about their performance the more apt they'll be to change it. In reality all it does is cause the person to believe what they are being repeatedly told with the result being a less engaged and productive team member.
So much value💡

5dI always believe regardless of whether we're working from the office or from home, a positive work environment remains the backbone of our productivity and success. It's about fostering a culture of respect, trust, not sidelining or accusing one particular employee of everything, encouraging employees to go beyond their jobs and thrive in life, and lastly open communication are the right keys to keep the work environment truly productive and approachable for all the employees.
