In a time filled with distractions, especially those pesky devices constantly dinging in our hands, we’ve worked to create company cultures where productivity seems to reign supreme. You’ve walked into those kinds of offices, been immediately jealous, and assumed they had the whole culture thing figured out. Instead of adding foosball tables and beer on tap, try these tips to fix your culture.

Find Out What Makes Your Company Unique

Base your new culture on your principles and values, and this will guide you to a good work environment. Use honest evaluation to see what works and what doesn’t, and listen to your employees. Knowing your values can help in the creation of a new mission statement, aka the driving force behind what you do.

Take Out What You Don’t Need

Once you’ve looked at your values, you might notice some pieces that don’t fit in with the new vision for your company. An Inc. article discussed the benefit of simply removing the broken pieces instead of spending the time to fix what isn’t working. It can be tempting, especially if there are things you want to hold onto, but a clean break will save you both time and money and allow you to start fresh.

Empower Your Employees

In just more than three years, the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, has completely changed the culture of his company with one simple idea: elevate your employees. When your employees care about their jobs and bring their A-game, you will see better results. Even more importantly, you will see your culture become healthier.

As soon as you begin to empower your employees, you will notice a change as they begin to take more accountability in the success of your company. By showing you care, employees will care too.
