Organizational culture and a healthy work climate gained traction in the latter part of the 20th century. Today, one of many metrics to identify a healthy work climate or positive organizational culture is the well-being of its employees. After all, investing in workplace well-being is linked directly to happy employees. Happy employees make happy customers, resulting in a greater return on investment (ROI). As CPR continues to serve at the behest of small business leaders, this blog will continue highlighting the importance of promoting workplace wellness, including organizing well-being initiatives.
