themselves and influence others to do their best.

disengaged from their work, colleagues, and eventually, your organization. As a
manager, it’s important to take the time to understand the value of employee
morale and how to improve it in your workplace.

employees. When employees feel they are in well-run facilities, they tend to feel
more valued than when working in sub-environments.

comfortable and pleasing environment, morale is increased.

whether to change jobs or not.

situations, a variety of training types will be used, depending on the type of job.

known as onboarding/orientation) is the process of introducing a new employee
to their new role within the organization. The purpose of this training is to help

perform their job. A mentor can help with this kind of training.

The following suggestions should help with the quest to conduct more effective
and efficient meetings.
Only hold a meeting when you have a good, vital reason for getting together.
Always consider if a simple email message or a brief memo can provide the
necessary information and would better serve the purpose.
Schedule meetings at a time which is convenient for most of the participants.
Start the session on time and do not wait for stragglers. If you do delay the start
and there is no accountability for offenders, it will continue and get worse in the
future.
Always use a well-organized agenda to provide a roadmap for the meeting.
Use a PowerPoint whenever possible. This tool is actually a visual outline and it
helps to maintain the attention of the participants.
Send the PowerPoint presentation via an email attachment to anyone who
legally had to miss the meeting.
Provide discussion questions or topics several days before the meeting
whenever possible if you are looking for input and suggestions
Keep the pace of the meeting moving forward by sticking to the agenda.
Arrange any handouts that accompany the PowerPoint or agenda so that they
can be quickly and easily distributed at the appropriate times during the
meeting..
Always evaluate how the meeting went and how it was received.
Good effective, efficient meetings don’t happen by accident. They take thought,
effort and planning, and the end result might be that a concise, successful
session will entice the participants to approach the next one with less resistance
and a more positive attitude.
Prepare minutes of meeting at the end session of official meeting.
