How Positive Energy is Boosting Workplace Productivity and Retention: A Look at ‘The Bear’ Director and the Importance of Company Culture

Ayo Edebiri recently directed an episode on season three of “The Bear,” where she made it a point to bring positive energy to the set. As a multifaceted talent in comedy, writing, producing, acting, and now directing, Edebiri found inspiration from the show’s creator Christopher Storer.

In an interview with Variety, White mentioned that the focus of the second season was on transforming the restaurant into an upscale eatery, leading to less cooking on set. However, he hinted that the third season would return to the functioning kitchen atmosphere of the first season. Edebiri emphasized the importance of being in a good mood and treating people decently to ensure a smooth workday flow.

Jasmine Hill, the CEO of Radiant Slate Consulting, stressed the need for CEOs to invest in developing company culture and employees. She explained that fostering a positive workplace environment not only benefits employee well-being but can also improve productivity and retention rates. Moreover, research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology suggests that behaving well at work can even lead to better sleep quality, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of positive energy in the workplace.
