How to grow a great staff culture

The quality of the relationships that exist amongst the team will determine how well the team gets its work done.
The basis of any cohesive staff culture is determined by the depth of the relationships that exist amongst team members. Donald Clifton, the founder of the strengths-based psychology movement and creator of the CliftonStrengths Finder, believed that every time a team met, its members should learn something new about each other. These exercises are designed to help you grow a great staff culture.
With a better understanding of one another, your team will have the potential for deeper relationships. This can translate into a happier, more trusting, and more productive workplace. If leaders are intentional about how they create a climate where staff relationships continually deepen, then the organisation will flourish.
If you implement these exercises with a focus on how we can deepen relationships, you will be off to a great start. These are some of the ideas which we’ve found to be highly effective at helping people connect and deepen their relationships. We suggest you explicitly state the goal of the activity in terms of how it relates to your staff, linking it to your annual plans.
We suggest you follow up with a discussion about the intent and purpose of the activity. This is the ideal time to take it deeper and provide rigour to the discussion. Of course, you may just wish to have fun!
