In today’s dynamic work environment, the role of organizational culture in driving employee wellbeing and performance cannot be overstated.  Insights from the 2019 and 2022 Global Happiness and Wellbeing Policy Reports offer valuable guidance on  organizational culture. Both emphasize the importance of a supportive culture, effective leadership, and work-life balance in enhancing employee satisfaction and organizational performance.

Organizations with strong, positive cultures tend to experience higher levels of employee wellbeing. This, in turn, leads to better overall performance. The 2019 report highlighted that a supportive organizational culture can result in a 10-25% increase in employee productivity. Similarly, the 2022 report emphasizes that social connections and a sense of community within the workplace significantly contribute to employee happiness.

City Managers and County Administrators can benefit from these findings. By fostering a culture that promotes wellbeing, they can drive their teams to new heights of efficiency and effectiveness. Ultimately, this serves their communities better.
