Creating a Family-Like Atmosphere at Work: What HR Initiatives Have Worked for You?

Hi all, I am trying to come up with some HR initiatives to put forward to my manager to implement within the office. Please advise on any ideas that have worked within your workplace before, especially those to increase a 'family-like' atmosphere between offices and staff.

Thanks

I am with Nupur. Unless you give more details, how can you expect appropriate suggestions? Some ideas that work in a particular sector won't work in others and, in a worst-case scenario, could be counterproductive. You could also use the research facility at the top of this page—this topic was discussed earlier on many occasions.

All the best.

We conduct telephone interviews for organizations of all shapes and sizes and have done so for several years. When asking current staff and ex-employees "what is/was great about working there," 8 out of 10 will say "the people." Upon further investigation, it is often the little things that are highly regarded and frequently overlooked by organizations. Simple gestures such as celebrating a birthday, organizing tea mornings, or group bootcamp sessions can make a significant impact. I recommend going directly to the source and asking your staff what they would like. Good luck.
