M.INT –What does a ‘positive working culture’ look like in your organisation?
GM –It comes down to three main pillars:
1. Having open and honest strategy, as well as open dialogue from the top-down, has been critical for us to drive a high-performing, inclusive culture.
2. Empowering your people, giving them a platform to offer ideas and suggestions to how your organisation could continually improve is very effective.
3. Giving autonomy and being output-focussed in this post-pandemic world promotes the productive behaviours required for a positive working culture.
