What is Team Culture and Why is it Important?
Team culture is a shared approach to work based on beliefs, values, and attitudes. In a nutshell, the culture is simply “how and why we do things at work”. It highlights what’s most important to a company and impacts every part of a business. Team culture can make or break a company. A healthy team culture fosters collaboration and motivates employees, but a bad or toxic team culture leads to high turnover and other problems.
5 Signs of a Toxic Team Culture:
- Never-Ending Gossip and Drama
- Poor Team Attitudes
- Lack of Proper Work Ethic
- Ineffective Communication Among the Team
- High Employee Turnover
