Team culture isn’t something you can see or touch. It’s not bound to an office or a single geographic location. It doesn’t require fancy perks like unlimited beverages or weekly happy hours.
It’s that thing you feel every day, whether you’re working in an office or from the comfort of your own home. It’s the totality of the behaviors and attitudes of a team and is evident in the way they think, act, and interact with one another. Inevitably, it shapes whether we view our job and our work environment in a positive or negative light.
In today’s world, the importance of this cannot be understated. Recent research has indicated that a strong and healthy team culture is far more than just a selling point to be used for recruitment. It has positive and tangible impacts:
- Employee experience
- Financial performance
- Employee loyalty and reduces turnover
- Recruitment
- Sense of community, belonging, and inclusion
