Did you know that companies that have positive, strong and upgradation environment perform 20% extra than other companies with toxic environment. When group of people share the same roof for work, here is where the culture tends to start and develops its roots. People from various backgrounds and religions join together to drip off their values into the pool where foundation of organization begins to form. Companies culture depend on how employees interact with one and other, with management and customers. Leaders introduce core values, mission and vision statement with the employees and whole dynamics of the company evolve around those.

Now let’s understand what does the word “Positive Culture” means for a person who is new in an organization. You know, when a person qualifies his interview for any post he Is over the moon and on the first day of his /her job that person is full of happiness and enthusiasm. Here is the point where when a person enters into the company and feels whether he will remain in this company or will leave it after sometime. Positive culture depends on common company values such as integrity, honesty, accountability, trust, respect, growth, promotions, increments and much more. Positive Culture means an employee first of all given respect and be trusted by the company and his employees and same goes for the him, he should also respect and trust his fellows and top management. Second, he should be honest with the responsibilities given by the company to him as he will be accountable for any loss or error. Third (most important point), if an employee performs well, he should be given promotions and incentives and other credentials that will increase his morale and capability to work for the company and apply more effort in the success growth.

Question arises who creates the basis of this culture and after formation who are responsible for its implementation? Let’s discover the facts. Foundation of positive culture is founded by the owners by using two leadership styles:

1-Authoritative leadership

It is the leadership in which employees have only to obey the orders of the owner to save their employment, no freedom is given to the employees and people use to live in cage. How horrible to even imagine that!!!

2-Influential leadership

This leadership is being followed by the owners themselves. His team will understand and accomplish all his orders with pure heart and honesty only and only if he will follow the rules he has made for his employees and top management. Yes, I am saying the truth, people use to idealize their leaders and if They are doing good everything will be on track for example, If a leader wants his employees to come on time, He should also follow the rules for himself despite of the position he is on.

HR Professionals are employees who are the back bone of any company. All SOPs, rules and regulations are designed and formulated by them after owner’s permission. Their job is to keep the atmosphere of the company clean and clear by following the rules and make every one accountable for their actions, take strict actions against any violation or misconduct, keep an eye on departments according to their performance, provide them correct information about company policies and new arrivals.

Managers of the department are the mini owners of the company. They know how to run the company in a way that will reduce the overall cost, increases productivity and doing optimization that will benefit the company. Their experience in their fields, help them remove every obstacle that comes on their way towards success.
