This Top Five monthly series hosted by the Greater Des Moines Partnership focuses on issues small businesses face daily.  Each month features a topic such as human resources, marketing, accounting, IT and others. The featured speaker from each event in the series will introduce five key takeaways that will help your small business be successful. 

This month focuses on ways to build an incredible culture that nurtures employees.

This session will reveal five unique ways small businesses can craft a more supportive and positive office culture. A focus will be placed on benefits that nurture and develop team members while creating a fun, energetic culture. The presentation will be filled with stories and actual examples. Attendees will walk away with insights on the best ways to show appreciation to employees, ways to add laughter and spontaneity to a boring office, guidance on how to foster an environment where employees support one another, ways to bring entertainment into the office without losing productivity, and unique benefits small businesses can offer that large corporations cannot.
