So it’s clear that creating an employee-centric culture can be good for business.
But how do you do that effectively? Culture is typically designed in an ad hoc way around random perks like gourmet meals or “karaoke Fridays,” often in thrall to some psychological fad.
And despite the evidence that you can’t buy higher job satisfaction, organizations still use golden handcuffs to keep good employees in place.
While such efforts might boost workplace happiness in the short term, they fail to have any lasting effect on talent retention or performance.
