In a recent interview on Inside South Florida, George Mavrookas, CEO and founder of Agape Behavioral Healthcare, shared valuable insights into cultivating a positive workplace environment and promoting mental health among employees.
Mavrookas emphasized the importance of prioritizing the well-being of staff members as the cornerstone of building a thriving company culture. He highlighted the significance of creating a safe, trusted, and respectful atmosphere where employees feel valued and supported. According to Mavrookas, fostering such an environment not only enhances employee satisfaction but also facilitates greater impact within the community and among clients.
As a leader, Mavrookas underscored the significance of active listening as a fundamental aspect of effective leadership. He emphasized the need for leaders to slow down, listen attentively, and validate the feelings of their team members. By demonstrating empathy and creating opportunities for open dialogue, leaders can foster a sense of belonging and engagement among employees.
Recognizing that not everyone may feel comfortable speaking directly with leadership, Mavrookas outlined practical strategies for encouraging employee feedback and improving mental health support within the workplace. At Agape Behavioral Healthcare, monthly surveys are conducted to gauge employee sentiments regarding company culture, the work environment, and client care. This feedback informs ongoing initiatives and interventions aimed at enhancing employee well-being and satisfaction.
