Jose Bandujo, president of Bandujo Donker & Brothers, a New York City advertising agency, realizes the importance of creating a corporate culture that fosters professionalism as well as personal growth and employee happiness. "You need to really listen to what your employees want, keep your promises, take care of the little things and create an environment of trust," Bandujo says.

Bandujo offers the following tips on how employers can keep their staffers content in the workplace:

Keep things in perspective. Remember, "We aren't saving babies!" When anxiety creeps in to the work environment, Bandujo reminds his staff that even the most important project "isn't life and death." If the boss is able to keep things in perspective, employees can stay focused and productive, not to mention happy.

Create a comfortable, inspirational environment and watch the ideas flow. At Bandujo, office walls are painted in lively, uplifting colors like yellow, fuchsia, blue and orange. The fun and offbeat '50s-style lunchroom holds retro bistro tables and bar stools, a bright yellow microwave, red toaster and multi-colored floor tiles-all of which help to keep the creative juices flowing.
