How to Build a Strong Team Culture with Gifts.

Building a strong Team Culture is very important in the business world. In this article I am going to show how to build your team culture with gifts. Before we build a strong Team Culture we need to understand what exactly is a strong Team Culture? I am also going to show you how ‘gifts‘ can help to build team culture.

the shared passion for achieving a fixed outcome and the beliefs and values which develop within a group of individuals who have come together to achieve the fixed outcome

Why is a good team culture important?

A good team culture is a key component that is likely to improve customer service, worker performance review process, employee promotions, conflict resolution, and employee benefits.

As a team you become more engaged. A firm with a strong workplace culture is likely to engage its workers and develop loyalty.

But when you are just starting a new business how do you start with a Team Culture?

You probably have an idea about what your business goals are but if you are going to be hiring employees you want them to have an idea what your business stands for. 

Answer these 3 Questions:

1. What are your core values and your business  mission?
2. What are your most important personal values?
3. Are they the same values you place on professional success?

Once you’ve figured out what you & your business stand for, create a Mission statement (if you need ideas get in touch with me).

Mission statement could be something as simple as “keeping your customers first in all your interactions” or something like “we believe in diversity in all fields and offer products made by women for women”.

Share your mission statement with your employees, make it visible in your business. Develop it as a written statement that defines and communicates your company’s purpose.

Use it to strengthen your team culture. A successful business thrives best when it aims for an established goal.

Now you as a business owner need to work with your Team to achieve goals.

And yes I am a great believer in goal settings- check out my other blog about SMART Goals. (I can help you to set SMART goals, get in touch).

• Individual Moral: On the other hand if you like me work for a major financial institute who is recognized for excellent customer service or interaction by a ‘gift’ that is personalized, it makes me the employee feel appreciated. Around Christmas I know many business owners give cash gifts to their employees as a bonus as an appreciation for their hard work.

• Competitive Behavior: When an employee is recognized in a meeting with a ‘gift’ it encourages competitive behavior. Irrespective of the value of the gift all employees like to receive a gift which helps build relationships.
• Encourage loyalty with personalized gifts: When you hire someone welcome them with a personalized gift and a handwritten note.

Books are my favorite gifts to give especially to team members who are new and our committed to diversity.
