At COOK, they believe that the key components of good working relationships at work are having a common purpose, clarity for staff on where they fit within the organisation, and finally by showing their staff that they are appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At work, we want to be seen. We want to be appreciated for what we’re bringing to the party, and that in turn makes for better relationships,” explains Rosie Brown, Managing Director at COOK (speaking at the 2019 Happy Workplaces Conference).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you show appreciation to your staff? At COOK, they do this in a number of ways. They look at what people need and find ways to meet that need, for example by hosting workshops in English language, mental health, self-confidence and financial wellbeing. They also have a Dream Academy, a life-coaching programme to help people identify and achieve their dreams. This can be anything from buying their first flat or learning to drive to having better relationships with their step-children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think the point is, when we tune into the needs that exist in our teams and in our organisations, and then we go and meet that need, people feel appreciated and that fuels positive relationship,” explains Rosie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
