A business or team can only be as successful as the sum of its parts. There are several companies with effective leaders that struggle with employee turnover or poor performance. According to one Gallup poll , 24 percent of employees who aren’t in a leadership or management role feel disconnected from the company or team.

It seems offices everywhere are loosening up. Ping pong tables, in-office cocktail hours and bring-your-dog-to-work days are on the rise as businesses try to attract and retain top talent. But before you rush to rebuild the break room to add a free juice bar, stop. Uncommon workplace policies require as much careful consideration as any other office perk – and sometimes even more.

And yet, all too often, offices are not set up to accommodate variable needs. This includes both the physical space of the office and practices and cultures which exclude or fail to acknowledge the needs of the disabled.

Unless you run your own business or inherited a million-dollar fortune, you’ll probably spend most of your adult years building a career at an office. It’s a fact. Over the average lifespan, a person will spend about 10.3 years in the office –that’s excluding sleep and lunch! Don’t let this upset you. While motivational speakers and “wealth coaches” tend to paint the office as a grim place where dreams go to die, it can actually be a great place to live out a fulfilling career.
