How can you possibly expect to feel comfortable bouncing ideas off of someone when you don’t even feel comfortable asking them a question?
While office comradery requires participation by both leader and employees, it must start with the individual leader. To build a unified work environment, leaders can utilize the following tips:
It’s important to know that creating a unified work environment cannot be achieved overnight. However, incorporating these tips will not only create a prosperous work environment, but will initiate trust within their employees.
