organizational culture

Today is the start of Mental Health Week – a national event that takes place during the first week of May to create awareness and get people talking about all issues related to mental health. Did you know that 70% of Canadian employees are concerned about the psychological health and safety of their workplace, and 14% don’t think theirs is healthy or safe at all? Obviously, there is work to be done!

While it’s important for morale and organizational culture to show your employees your appreciation year round, today is the official day of the year to show your team how much they mean to you.

Strong companies have an innate ability to keep their top employees. They understand that one of the key success factors for any organization is not only to recruit and hire the best talent, but also have a process in place to retain them.

Organizational culture is not something that is outlined in your mission and vision – rather, it is how things happen organically. The rules you create in the workplace have a huge impact on internal interactions and how your culture plays out day to day.
