Focus on Morale

The focus on employee morale is neglected by many companies. Employees are the driving force revenue, yet employers take employees for granted. When companies take the time to change the way employees feel about the company, the customer experience will improve. This has a direct impact on revenue. Employers need to find solutions for employee morale. Employees need to be willing to contribute to the experience.
As an employee it is important to ask yourself “am I doing everything I can to add to the positive morale in my company?”. Employers need to be in the mindset of always providing solutions for improving employee morale. This does not always require money. Supervisors can schedule and complete positive one on one meetings with employees. Regularly scheduled team meetings that provide insight and clarity to the company goals that can put everyone on the same page. It is just the little things that show employees are more than just a number.  This and many other things can create a positive employee morale.
If you are the owner of the company, you should be comfortable with knowing how each employee feels about the company. It is an opportunity to create a positive experience that can benefit all parties. There are popular TV shows that allow owners and CEO’s to understand frontline employee concerns. This experience does not need to be on TV. Owners and CEO’s can take the time to learn the job functions of all departments and understand any frustrations employees have. It is about creating positive experience and everyone needs to be part of this experience.
As an employee, if you feel awkward in a work environment regardless of how positive it is it may be time to go. It is just as much an employee responsibility to be part of the positive morale in a company environment as it is the employer. Try being part of the things that are positive about the company. If the company is still not a good fit, find the right environment that works for you.
The average working American spends between 25 – 40 hours per week in the work environment. It is important that work life balance is a priority. Part of the work life balance is creating as many positive moments in life as possible. This is healthy for the mind, body, spirit and soul. Do everything you can to be part of creating a positive work experience. Only good things can happen from being persistent in this conquest. Focus on creating the true positive environment. The benefits are endless.
