‘Positive workplace culture,’ ‘Head of People,’ and ‘employee engagement’ are just a few of the terms dominating today’s HR space and corporate strategies. Creating a positive workplace culture is more than a mission statement; it’s a vital component of success and sustainability in any business. A positive culture fosters employee satisfaction, boosts morale and motivation, and enhances overall performance.
