A healthy workplace culture

When companies have a healthy workplace culture, they display three attributes:

  • They give employees psychological safety. Workers can raise concerns without fear.
  • They give employees a forum to discuss their concerns, and management will acknowledge that they have seen the problems.
  • Management is fully present with their employees. They are not on their device during meetings.

Create a time for deep focus

In a dysfunctional workplace, employees can’t talk about the problem of distraction just as they can’t talk about other issues.
