Starting from the get-go, new hires and teammates should feel the excitement of joining an organization. Try this:
Your teammates are much more than their accomplishments at work. Take every opportunity to celebrate your people inside and outside of work. For example:
Giving public kudos will not only make your teammates feel valued but bring others together to celebrate the big and small moments in the office.
Each of your teammates carries unique strengths that can help you expand your skillset. Whether you’re asking for personal or career advice, taking that first step to setup up those meetings.

You’re not a machine and neither is your team. All work and no play will likely lead to burnout. And to get the most bountiful results with happy teammates requires a culture that encourages breaks. Try this:

Create wellness time throughout the week to see how your teammates are doing. Everyone is on their path and sometimes a small check-in can make a big difference in their day.
