Nichole Oster Email & Phone Number

My name is Nichole Oster. Since 2008, I have been sharpening my ability to create positive work cultures. Work culture is a shared set of values, beliefs and attitudes that guide your organization. You reflect the culture in the way you treat your customers and employees and it impacts the types of candidates you are able to attract. A culture will emerge in your organization; however, you must be intentional if you want to create a positive culture that will inspire your team and your organization. Every team should have established goals which guide individual performance and encourage collaboration. Use feedback to make needed adjustments. Promote your organization’s goals and provide employees with a sense of professional purpose. It’s essential to create a positive and inclusive workplace and to make diversity a part of your recruitment strategy.Work is stressful but make difficult situations more tolerable. Ultimately you must solve the problem, but you must have a fresh perspective and a positive outlook. Make sure you value and hear every person regardless of their particular job. New people have a fresh perspective. Even interns are capable of much more than busy work. Remember to let employees speak openly about the problems they face at work and outside. Help them understand their rights are protected in the workplace. Make sure they have access to company support and resources and of course HR representatives. Recognize employees for outstanding results. This will motivate their peers to try harder creating some friendly competition that leads to high performance.Here are some important “Don’ts”: Don’t let disengaged employees hang around. They are a source of pervasive toxicity. Talk to those who are not productive about their behavior. If there is no improvement, it may be time to part ways. Don’t tolerate poor managers. People with bad managers are looking for another job. Creating a good work culture results in increased production and reduced employee turnover so stick with it!
