Have you ever wondered what makes a person feel engaged, show a high commitment, and go further from what's expected?

People who go beyond not only make a positive impact in your environment but also on your business results. Now, imagine that you are not talking about one person but about your whole team or even your entire organization.

Having the right culture will make all the difference in your business outcomes.

People thrive when they see the impact of their contributions. If a person can demonstrate their contribution, they will also want to continue contributing.

But how can we make sure that we create an environment where people can succeed? How do we create an environment where people can be curious, flow, and keep their commitment to do things better?

It’s a good start to really care about people and believe in the impact they can make.

Here are four ways that you could put in place to be intentional about how to create the right environment:

Create a trusting environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique talents. A safe environment promotes that people feel comfortable asking questions, concerns, and suggestions.
Promote learning and growth opportunities; people are more likely to commit and contribute when they see a real interest in their learning and growth. Provide them the opportunity to lead projects, participate in initiatives from different areas, provide mentoring, or take on new responsibilities.
Show appreciation is a great way to boost confidence and reinforce the behaviors that you want to promote and continue to see.
Be consistent. This is the only way to build credibility in the employee experience journey. Consistency is the foundation for building trust, and it will allow you to increase job satisfaction and increase performance.

People want the chance to make a difference, to work in an environment where they can be challenged and grow. It's our responsibility to build the right environment and help them to thrive.
