Building a Positive Team Culture in Aged Care

In aged care, the quality of service is tied to the quality of the team behind it. While Training and experience are important, team culture is what truly shapes the care that our clients receive at accessible agency. Behind every meal served, every hand held, and every moment of comfort shared, there is a team working together.

 

We believe that having a positive and respectful team leads to happier staff and better outcomes of care for our clients. And the strength of that team depends heavily on one vital ingredient: Team culture

   What Is Team Culture?

Team culture is the “feel” of a workplace — the shared values, attitudes, and behaviors that shape how staff interact with one another and with clients. In an aged care setting, where compassion and connection are everything, team culture isn’t just important — it’s essential.

  Why is Team Culture important in aged care?

Working in aged care is both rewarding and challenging a positive team culture helps:

  • Build a sense of community and purpose
  • Reduces the stress and burnout of staff
  • Communication among carers, clients, and families improve
  • Improvement of Job satisfaction

Not only does team culture benefit employees – it enhances the lives of people that we care for.
