HOW TO BOOST EMPLOYEES MORALE

One thing that can positively boost employee morale is by finding out the actual cause of the low
morale in the first place.

By using a survey questionnaire, you can pinpoint the key areas that are affecting your company,
in many different areas. This will allow you to then choose where you want to take action.

Small changes can make large improvements overall.

Here are the things that we should focus on if we wanted to boost our employees morale.

1. Demonstrate that you care.

Treat employees with respect to show that you value them as human beings. Too many
companies treat their workers as fungible assets that can be divested at a moment’s notice. If you
truly care about employees, interact with them frequently. Show that you care about each
individual. This will inspire employees, engage or re-engage them and demonstrate that they
have value to the organization. If you treat your employees well, they will treat your customers
well and, in turn, the customers will be happier and buy more from your company, helping to
drive a cycle of success. If workers are apathetic or angry, those emotions will spill over into
their customer-service efforts

2. Offer better pay and security.

Given today’s pace of change, no company can guarantee job security. But companies can offer
a greater sense of security and above-average pay to attract -- and retain -- the best talent.
Experience has taught me that it pays to pay wages that are five to 10 percent above the market
average, assuming the applicant is qualified. At the same time, you can generate a heightened
sense of security among workers by stressing that “we are all in this together.” Spread the
message that if everyone delivers superior products and stays one step ahead of the competition,
everyone will have a good job tomorrow. It’s important that everyone understand that job
security isn’t somebody else’s concern. Each employee either contributes to, or diminishes, their
own job security by helping the company succeed or not. Workers must recognize that they own
their individual and collective future.

3. Foster a sense of shared mission.

Millennials are famous for demanding work that helps provide meaning and purpose for their
lives, but this attitude is hardly unique to that generation. The most actively engaged workers are
those who are goal-driven -- people who show up for work on Mondays to accomplish
something of personal value, beyond collecting a paycheck. By setting tangible and inspired
goals for your employees, you can create a workforce of professionals who are fanatically
committed to achieving a mission that’s larger than themselves. In turn, this promotes a unified
culture dedicated to delivering great products/services. If everyone shares this sense of
camaraderie, then everyone will be more inspired and more energized.

4. Provide growth opportunities.

Whether it’s the opportunity to develop new skills or advance within the organization, workers
must believe that the company is helping them grow their careers and better themselves as
individuals. Few employees will be satisfied -- much less enthusiastic -- about a dead end job.
But if they are convinced that your company offers a path to a more fulfilling life, they will be
more likely to be loyal and engaged members of your corporate family.
