Building a culture where everyone is part of a happy, vibrant, innovative and passionate team.

That is what Lifetime strives to do, each and every day.

And in 2017 the workplace culture is more important than ever.

A person’s working hours is something that they should not fear, or dread every morning when they wake up. Employees should look forward to going to their jobs. In fact, they should have a hard time leaving because they not only enjoy the challenges, but they also get on well with their co-workers, and the atmosphere is one where enthusiasm, a sense of fun mixed with purpose, and innovative ideas abound.

Jobs should not provoke stress in employees. Or jealousy. It should not lead to splits. Or mini empire building between various departments.

A great culture can prevent these things. And a business benefits as a result. Happy employees with a ‘all for one, one for all’ attitude leads to more productivity, greater innovation, better results.

When a business is more productive, it is working faster – and when it works faster, it can get a leg up on the competition. So it is worth the investment for companies to build and nourish their culture.

This week the various Lifetimers who deliver service support got together for a ‘brain-storming’ session, discussing ideas and new ways that our company can continue to build a ‘happy ship’ that can sail into 2017 and beyond with confidence, belief, passion and a feeling of togetherness.
