The SMART workplace has created these foundational practices that will help move your culture forward.al development practitioners advise ‘being present’ as a way to focus your actions, be free of distraction and have clearer thoughts.

 

Communicate, live and breathe the mission and vision of your organization. Align daily operations with the company's mission, this will encourage understanding and passion for that mission among all employees.    

Set aside time to be a responsive organization that learns and adapts rapidly through the open flow of information; encouraging experimentation and learning on rapid cycles.

Teamwork doesn't happen by itself.  Organizations must lay a foundation of building blocks that cause employees to want the same thing. Train and educate employees in best practices. When the culture is driven by "getting-better" in a non-competitive way, you breed collaborative, mobile and dynamic teams.
