Words To Describe Your Work Environment
Employees today (especially millennials and Gen Zers) expect the workplace to be a relaxed environment with a casual vibe and dress code.
Some organizations are simply outdated, whether it’s because of antiquated technology, company practices, or both.
Hostile work environments are overly competitive and can be harmful to employees’ personal well-being and mental health.
In an unsupportive work environment, employees lack the support they need to grow with the company, develop professionally, and expand on their skill sets.
Nimble companies are agile and adaptable, with a constant willingness to course-correct and rethink strategies, processes, and approaches.
