The average working week in the UK is around 35+ hours a week, equating to around 22% of a person’s week spent at work. With this figure in mind, it is important to consider that we spend so much time with the people we work with – managers, team leaders and team members alike.
Here at Reduce My Costs, we recognise the importance of workplace culture and care for our team, ensuring that the 22% of the week is filled with positivity and productivity.
Workplace culture surrounds us throughout our entire working life and incorporates shared values, goals and attitudes that contribute to the smooth function of businesses. Positive workplace culture promotes successful outcomes for projects, trust and integrity, and open communication across all teams.
The best way to develop a positive work culture is by asking those within – we asked a few members of our team what they think contributes to great office culture.
What Does Workplace Culture Mean To You?
A great workplace culture involves having the balance between a friendly atmosphere and the desire to work hard professionally and encourage each other across all teams. This can be through fun incentives as a reward for good practice/work or a de-brief/praise following something good which has been done. Recognising each employee for their talents and skillset creates a positive culture in which employees and businesses thrive.

RMC is a great place to work, I believe the whole work-family inspires each other as we have people who are passionate about what they do! A key part of this is that we encourage all the team to use their talents. Regardless of whether this is in Customer service, Sales, Marketing or Operations, we motivate each other by example, and everyone is proud of what they do. Our team values growth and RMC is happy to nurture and help them apply their skills and knowledge in ways that help them consistently produce fantastic results.

Office culture is so important because it attracts the employees best suited to your values as a business. Enjoying your time at work makes everyday life much easier, and, if you feel like you’re not vibing with the culture of the office, then you probably won’t be working there very long! So many factors such as teamwork, quality of work and employee well-being are all linked back to office culture and how employees feel valued because of this.

I think a brilliant aspect of the workplace culture we have here at Reduce My Costs is the focus on collaboration and the opportunity for learning various roles and services. Throughout my time here I have expanded my knowledge in a range of areas, and this mainly comes down to the freedom I have had to dictate my time across areas of the business. Through my exploration, I have found that I have a keen interest in HR and have been allowed to develop my skills in this area. I think any Company that allows its employees to progress and try new things is a great example of cultivating an open and exciting working culture.
