Do you want to know how you can provide a safe, inclusive, and growth-oriented workplace?
In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I was thrilled to be joined by Melina Cordero, a leading voice in workplace culture and operational happiness.
Melina emphasised the importance of understanding and addressing the core issues that prevent happiness at work. She discussed how conducting a culture audit and customising surveys can provide valuable insights from employees, leading to impactful changes within organisations. She urged companies to take action on survey results and effectively communicate the steps taken or reasons for not implementing specific changes.
Recognising the significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Melina stressed the need for organisations to promote awareness, learning, and unconscious bias mitigation through workshops, conversations, and safe spaces for open dialogue. She also highlighted the challenges faced by underrepresented groups in the workplace, emphasizing the importance of equitable workload distribution and fair compensation.
We also delved into the impact of toxic work environments on mental health. I shared my own experience and encouraged those facing similar challenges to seek support and take steps towards creating a better reality. Our conversation provided valuable insights for leaders and employees alike.
