productivity.

Partiality leads to demotivated employees and eventually an unhealthy work

culture. Employees should be judge only by their work and nothing else. Personal

relationships should take a backseat at the workplace. Don’t favour anyone just

because he is your relative.

One must respect his fellow workers. Backbiting is considered strictly

unprofessional and must be avoided for a healthy work culture. One gains nothing

out of conflicts and nasty politics at work

 Appreciating the top performers is important

Praise the employees to expect good work from every time. Give them a pat on

their back. Let them feel indispensable for their organization. Don’t criticize the

ones who have not performed well, instead ask them to pull up their socks for the

next time. Give them one more opportunity rather than firing them immediately.
 Encourage discussions at the workplace

Employees must discuss issue among themselves to reach to better conclusion.

Each one should have the liberty to express his views. The team leaders and

managers must interact with the subordinates frequently. Transparency is essential

at all levels for better relationship among employees and a healthy work culture.

information flow in its desired form.

maintain the decorum of the organization. Discipline is important at the workplace.

existing skills of the employees. Prepare them for the tough times. They should be
