- Hire the best people – hire people that share your vision and want to be a part of the team.
- Listen to employees – give them an opportunity to provide feedback and listen to them. Take on their ideas and work with them to make improvements in the business.
- Give employees projects – if staff are interested in certain areas and there is a need for those ideas in the business, give the project to the employee and enable them to have ownership. The project will have commitment and the best outcome.
- Engage your staff – share the company goals, financials and vision for the business so that staff can be a part of the vision.

- Prepare to change – building a positive work culture will take time and will take a lot of hard work, so be prepared for the hard work.
