What is the first thing that pops in your mind when you hear the term corporate culture? Although it's hard to define what culture is, we can recall an iconic phrase coined by the McKinsey organization, that culture is "how we do things around here." However, there are so many ingredients that go into determining what you do and why, that this definition is not enough.  

We are approaching a new era - a hybrid revolution that begins with a change in the way we work, from office - centric to human-centric, from a physical experience to a flexible way of working made up of collaboration, empathy, and trust. Nowadays, happy and satisfied employees are the most innovative ones: happiness stimulates people to be more creative and communicate more effectively.   

Therefore, organizational culture plays a key role in determining what behaviors and attitudes should be promoted within a company. Many companies strive to develop metrics that can measure workplace happiness and engagement, but sometimes annual surveys are not enough. Companies need to implement an HR strategy to collect, process, and analyze information so that they can make targeted, data-driven decisions.   

If you want to increase your employees' happiness, you need to identify their pain points and find unique and innovative solutions to prevent and solve them. By doing so, your workforce will feel more connected to the company and their colleagues.
