“Workplaces are communities, built around the relationships we have with our peers. When these relationships are strong, they can be a source of energy, learning, and support.” – Harvard Business Review

The healthiest and happiest workplaces are those where teammates work together to build a robust community. Indeed, communities are the lifeblood of a successful organization. A community makes people bring out their best, makes work fun and furthers the mission of the company.  It also makes employees believe in the work they’re doing, leading to more successful careers and fulfilling personal lives.

Every team and every organization has its own unique culture which largely influences its capacity to create a flourishing community. Just like with people’s personalities, a company’s culture determines what types of people are attracted to and enjoy being involved. Company culture is the foundation upon which a workplace community is built.

Here are 7 ways you can build and foster a healthy community  

1. Create a sense of belonging: Employees who feel that they’re part of a community, care more about each other’s well-being and success. In such an environment, professionals access a higher level of support from one another, which can reduce their stress levels and heighten their engagement at work. Healthy workplaces prioritize community building by embedding belonging and transparency into the fabric of their culture.

 2. Involve employees in decision-making processes: A workplace that builds community involves employees in decision-making processes. Taking part in these processes helps people invest more in an organization’s success and feel a sense of responsibility in overcoming any challenges to progress that may arise.
