Supporting your employees should be a crucial part of your management practices. The level at which your team’s wellbeing is cared for will directly impact the culture within your company.

1. Talk about it

2. Encourage good relationships with colleagues

3. Consider the working environment

4. Prioritise a good work/life balance

A job description is a document that explains the purpose, responsibilities and accountability of a particular role within an organization. Job descriptions are created to define employee roles based on the needs of the company. They are used for recruitment purposes to ensure applicants understand what you expect from them in terms of work hours, compensation and duties they will be required to fulfil.

A job advert is a marketing document that aims to attract candidates who have all of the right skills, experience and qualifications for your vacant position. It should also be compelling enough to entice people to apply who would enjoy working with you and make a positive impact on your business.

The absence of trust has a cost. It's a drain on productivity, morale and retention. Employees in an environment plagued by distrust are likely to demonstrate:

• Decreased engagement

• More stress and burnout

• A reluctance to be honest or candid during meetings or conversations

• Low self-esteem because of negative feedback or repeated organizational changes

• Reduced productivity and efficiency

In contrast, employees who trust the people they work with tend to feel happier, more engaged, more willing to collaborate and more productive. They're also less likely to leave the company voluntarily for other opportunities (and thus saving their employer money in recruiting costs).

Connecting with your team on a level that makes employees feel part of something, welcomed and accepted, will have a big effect on things like loyalty and how likely they are to seek work elsewhere.

It's nothing new that when we work together as a team things get done better and quicker. Getting really good at something and then outsourcing everything else is something that all successful people do. You can't do everything on your own. And most of us know, deep down, that if you attempted to do everything on your own, you would end up dropping the ball.

Dedicating time and energy to becoming a better leader is not easy but it is fundamentally important to the success of an organisation, at any level.

Teamwork really does make the dream work. Collaboration is key, and diversity creates an environment that breeds growth, development, further learning, and outside perspective - all of which are the foundations for success in business, and not just success, but dominating the space that your business

The focus should be on keeping each and every employee in your organisation happy, first. As a leader, it is your responsibility to listen to the wants and needs of your people and adhere to them. The reason that you have employees in the first place is that they have bought into your brand, your values, and your vision, and believe in the product or service that you provide.

Company culture would be better described as the overall ethos of a brand, how the people feel about the work they do, what the vision of the organisation is, and how its mission to accomplish this vision will happen. It’s about how employees feel about the company, what values they believe in, and how they plan to get where they see themselves going.

Top tier recruitment, when done well, and is sustainable throughout the journey of a company is almost always the defining factor in not just the short-term success of a brand or business, but the determining cause of longevity, too. This is because hiring the best people that see your vision, align with your values, and live and breathe your product or service is the key to creating the best possible advocates for your brand: your employees. The thing to remember, though, is because it’s so important to get right, it takes time - and as we all know - time is money. Therefore, even though we can all appreciate the importance of excellent recruitment, it’s not always done the way it should.
