But once you have these great people, there is a true art to keeping them productive and happy, and that art is known as “creating a culture”.  While it may not sound hard, creating and maintaining a culture that meets all the requirements for all of your employees can be a balancing act to say the least!  Here are some ways to build a great office culture and to keep employees happy in their job.

Office Surroundings

There aren’t many people that enjoy going to work in a pokey, dark office! That’s why the office culture starts with the surroundings in which you put your staff.  When choosing an office space, look for a location with plenty of windows, large break out areas for staff to have lunch in and good heating and cooling.   These things may all sound like standards, but you would be surprised!  Many business owners will look for places that are low on extra space (to save money) and rarely think about the positive impact that natural light can have on their staff, never mind a good heater and air conditioner.
