To ensure your company’s environment is anything but toxic, you need to lay down a stable foundation with healthy principles. How do you do it? Simply. By creating a company culture.

2. Hire the
right team
At Oves Enterprise, the first item we take
into account is their technical level.
Then, as the interview advances, we also
take a glimpse in their attitude and their
ideal workplace. We want everyone to
feel welcome and part of the team.
However, it’s safe to say our company
attracts the people who would fit in.

3. At Oves Enterprise, one of our internal values is
to ensure everyone likes what they are doing.
That roughly translates into giving constructive
feedback on tasks, having one on ones about
the overall job description and knowing if they
want to grow. Growth, as well, is our value.
People leave jobs when they feel they reached
the plateau and if they don’t feel appreciated.
We work actively on avoiding this because, at
Oves Enterprise, people matter.

satisfaction

4. Let your
employees
be
themselves
What it’s important to keep in mind is
that it’s important to have a structure in
terms of incentive systems, career paths
and objectives. Yet you cannot give the
same salary to a developer as you would
for a marketer, so why would you expect
them to dress and work the same?

5. If used correctly, transparency helps
employees to think more strategically and
can even come with more dedication from
them.

6. Reinforce
the team
mentality
The tendency in a competitive
environment is to praise individuals, not
teams. However, to have a thriving
company culture, it’s important to have
both. Praise the team effort overall, and
if you know that your employees need
extra reassurance, do that as well. Yet,
it’s important to foster a culture of
collaboration, not of individualism.

7. Your company culture needs to have this
component as well – to let people know that
their opinion matters. After all, you value
people through their expertise and insights,
and not titles. Even more, expanding your
employee’s freedom are cornerstones of
attracting more talented individuals.

Remember
good decisions
can come from
anywhere
8. Lead by
example
It’s easy to write a bunch of rules on a
wall – similar to “live love laugh” and
expect everyone to follow them. But
that’s never ever going to happen. You,
as a company manager, are the most
representative person of the company. If
you do not practice what you preach,
then everything goes to drain.
