Organizational Team Health

How vital is this to success? I feel like every article I read describes how important a healthy cultural is to a company's profits. I disagree to an extent.

Now before I get burned at the stake, toxic environments are still a no from me. Harassments, sexual comments, and unprofessional behavior should not be tolerated. As an adult, we should know where this line is drawn already in my opinion.

In terms of the organizational health, what really matters? Should a company do team trips? Special lunches? Giveaways and other promotions to encourage performance? I disagree to all of this and maintain the position that employees love 2 things: higher pay and less working time. That is it, end of story. No questions asked. For 99.99% of employees this works great to foster a winning business.

Part 2 of this, how should we structure the company to ensure performance is always strong? Well, it is about the frame and shell of the tasks. This means the employees are able to placed and put into positions where the job can be repeated by someone else fairly easily. Think of it as a machine that requires employees as parts rather than trying to carve out individual puzzle parts. Do you think Apple can entertain 10,000 employees on an individual level? Of course not. It is all about creating a system that allows for parts to be swapped in or out.

The benefit to this is simple: prevents against turnover ruining the whole operation and allows employees to change positions without being lost in how to perform the task, preventing burnout and boredom. 

The blueprint is just like coaches in sports: create a system, recruit to that system, fit people in to said system. Incentivize with money and less work, not stupid team paintball trips or dinners 2 hours away on weeknights. Maintain that employees act professional and success will be guaranteed, given your product doesn't suck...
