5 Ways People Drive Success in Business

People are the indispensable heartbeat of every business. Creating a workplace where people are respected as whole individuals, and not just ‘bums on seats’, is essential to business success. Lithon considers all our people to be part of a family. In fact, one of our core values is People Focus which means emphasising genuine care and prioritising relationships.

Here are 5 reasons why we put people first at Lithon:

1. Diverse People Inspire Innovation

Engineers are constantly required to problem solve and come up with inventive solutions in their work. Fostering an environment that breeds this kind of ingenuity requires deliberate action. At Lithon, we encourage everyone to contribute, honouring the uniqueness that each diverse background, experience, and unique personality brings to the conversation. 

2. Positive People Are More Productive

Studies have shown that positive mental health in the workplace influences people’s productivity levels. When people are content and happy with their work, they feel empowered and motivated to be, and do, their best. Lithon considers mental health to be of equal importance to physical health. We genuinely value each employee for who they are and what they bring to the table.  

3. Smart Work Over Hard Work Enhances Efficiency

Creating a workplace where people are encouraged to work smarter but not harder, leads to employee growth and productivity. Ultimately this leads to higher levels of efficiency and standards of work. At Lithon, ‘working smart’ means supporting our people with access to continuous learning and personal growth opportunities, so that they can do their work to the best of their ability. 

4. People are the Essence of Successful Teams

Most of our engineering projects at Lithon require a team effort. We are concerned with individual wellbeing (both physical and psychological) because we understand that a team, and ultimately our business, thrives when every member is feeling their best. Just as a wheel with a broken spoke cannot roll smoothly, a team with unhappy or unbalanced members cannot function at its best. 

5. People-Centric Culture is the Pillar of Success

Businesses, like Lithon, that prioritise a people-centric approach, respecting their values, investing in their well being, and promoting a harmonious work environment, cultivate a productive and loyal workforce. In turn, this leads to a thriving business that consistently delivers excellent work to clients. 

Work with a Company that Values its People

We are convinced that our people-centric focus is part of what makes us able to deliver excellent engineering work. We love working with clients who value acting with integrity and respect towards people as much as we do.
