But before we do, let\u2019s first clarify what employee morale actually is.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_employee_morale\"><\/span>What Is Employee Morale?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/corporatefinanceinstitute.com\/resources\/careers\/soft-skills\/employee-morale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employee morale can be defined<\/a> as \u201cthe overall satisfaction, outlook, and feelings of well-being that an employee holds in the workplace.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At an organization where employees enjoy their jobs, support the company\u2019s mission, and appreciate the corporate culture, employee morale is said to be high. By contrast, when employees feel mistreated, undervalued, or overworked, employee morale is often low.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_is_employee_morale_important\"><\/span>Why Is Employee Morale Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Employee morale has a huge impact on numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/6-super-effective-team-goal-setting-activities-that-actually-work\/\">corporate goals<\/a>, like profitability, productivity, and competitiveness. For instance, take a look at some of the ways employee morale affects the workplace:<\/p>\n<p>For instance, take a look at some of the ways employee morale affects the workplace:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Work Quality<\/strong> &#8211; Work quality deteriorates when employee morale is low. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/ladyunemployed.com\/happy-employees-make-less-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Journal of Applied Business Research<\/a>, \u201cengaged employees make fewer mistakes than disengaged employees because they want to ensure a job well done. They pay more attention to details and work with a greater sense of accuracy.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer Experience<\/strong> &#8211; Great customer service helps to build brand loyalty. By contrast, disengaged or rude employees anger customers&#8211;who will often take their complaints to social media. When employee morale is low, employees are more likely to provide bad customer service&#8211;undermining all the efforts a company puts into attracting those customers in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Productivity<\/strong> &#8211; Unhappy employees are less engaged at work \u2026 and subsequently, get a lot less done. So much so that one Gallup report estimated that disengaged employees cost US businesses as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrike.com\/blog\/employee-morale-and-productivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$550 billion<\/a> a year from lost productivity. By comparison, companies with engaged workers have <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/effects-low-employee-morale-1768.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">17% higher productivity and 41% lower absenteeism.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Employee Retention<\/strong> &#8211; Low employee morale is linked to higher turnover&#8211;which can be incredibly expensive for employers. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/core.ac.uk\/download\/pdf\/157498246.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Organization Science<\/a>, the estimated cost of losing an $8\/hour retail employee ranges between $3,500 and $25,000, due to hiring expenses, training labor, lost sales, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/category\/productivity\/\">productivity<\/a>. Worse, high turnover lowers employee morale even more&#8211;as overworked employees are forced to work harder to make up for a smaller or untrained workforce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Profitability<\/strong> &#8211; Higher employee morale translates into greater profitability. For instance, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that companies with the highest employee engagement and happiness rankings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/how-boosting-employee-morale-makes-companies-more-money-doug-dosberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earned at least double the amount of revenue<\/a> as companies with the lowest employee engagement rates.Furthermore, companies with employee engagement programs report a whopping 223% greater customer loyalty and 26% higher increases in annual revenue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_causes_low_employee_morale\"><\/span>What Causes Low Employee Morale?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of factors that can contribute to low employee morale. <a href=\"https:\/\/hrdailyadvisor.blr.com\/2015\/03\/25\/10-employee-morale-crushers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the HR Daily Advisor<\/a>, the top 10 causes of low employee morale are:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1143\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Employee-Morale.png\" alt=\"Low Employee Morale\" width=\"859\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Employee-Morale.png 859w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Employee-Morale-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Employee-Morale-768x283.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employee Mistreatment<\/strong> &#8211; When employees feel disrespected or mistreated by their managers, understandably, morale plummets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Constantly Changing Goals<\/strong> &#8211; Employees get frustrated when employers change goals so frequently that new ones contradict past ones. Worse, not only do frequently changing goals create confusion, but they can also make previous work obsolete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unclear Expectations<\/strong> &#8211; When employees don\u2019t know what\u2019s expected of them&#8211;or the criteria they\u2019re being judged against&#8211;it\u2019s natural for them to feel discouraged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Communication<\/strong> &#8211; Nobody enjoys being kept in the dark. Worse, a lack of communication provides an opportunity for workplace gossip to run rampant \u2026 which is why companies that fail to keep their employees in the loop typically have low employee morale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Appreciation<\/strong> &#8211; Every employee wants to feel like their hard work is valued&#8211;when they don\u2019t, they\u2019re apt to seek out new opportunities. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidsturt\/2018\/03\/08\/10-shocking-workplace-stats-you-need-to-know\/?sh=1f0953cff3af\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Forbes<\/a>, 79% of people who quit their jobs cite \u201clack of appreciation\u201d as their reason for leaving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Micromanagement<\/strong> &#8211; Employees want to feel like they have the leeway to do their job&#8211;without their decisions constantly being called into question.<br \/>\nMicromanagement prevents that kind of autonomy, while showing a lack of trust in employees&#8211;which, as you might imagine, reduces employee morale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unreasonable Workload<\/strong> &#8211; It probably goes without saying that when someone is feeling constantly overburdened at work, they\u2019re much more likely to experience resentment, burnout, and job dissatisfaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Clear Employee Development Plan<\/strong> &#8211; When accepting a new job, most employees do so with an eye for the future, as they envision their path up the corporate ladder. However, when there\u2019s no opportunity for growth&#8211;or the path is unclear&#8211;employees can start to feel frustrated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inadequate Compensation<\/strong> &#8211; Although compensation doesn\u2019t affect employee morale as much as some of the other items on this list, everyone wants to be fairly compensated. In the absence of that, employees are more likely to experience low morale&#8211;especially if they\u2019re also dealing with other workplace frustrations, like micromanagement or lack of appreciation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Turnover<\/strong> &#8211; As mentioned earlier, high workplace turnover typically means that other workers are stuck picking up the slack&#8211;which creates a stressful and unpleasant work environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_ways_to_boost_employee_morale\"><\/span>7 Ways to Boost Employee Morale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, there are a number of highly-effective ways companies can boost employee morale at their workplace. Here are some of our favorite methods \u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #1: Create a Culture of Thanks<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Thank-You.png\" alt=\"Thank You\" width=\"515\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Thank-You.png 515w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Thank-You-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to improve employee morale is to express appreciation. While there are a number of different ways to show employees that their hard work hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed, we particularly like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessnewsdaily.com\/8152-employee-appreciation-tips.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how Badger Maps does it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At Badger Maps, the leadership team sets aside time at the end of each Friday for team members to \u201cgive props\u201d to anyone else on the team. This Friday forum presents a convenient opportunity for employees to publicly recognize their coworkers for their accomplishments and contributions throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p>During this \u201cTGIF meeting,\u201d the company fosters an atmosphere of appreciation, respect, and teamwork&#8211;which goes a long way toward showing employees that their contributions are valued.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #2: Adopt a Remote Work Policy<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Remote-Work-Policy.png\" alt=\"Remote Work Policy\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Remote-Work-Policy.png 620w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Remote-Work-Policy-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Remote-Work-Policy-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Remote-Work-Policy-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Clearly, not every business can implement a remote work policy. However, among those companies that can, it\u2019s an idea well-worth considering, since not only do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/04\/20\/how-companies-will-have-to-rethink-culture-for-future-remote-workers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most adults (87%) want the ability to work remotely<\/a>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/voodle.com\/blog\/benefits-of-remote-work-voodle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remote workers are also 22% happier than those who never work remotely.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More importantly, a remote work policy is a great way to boost employee morale. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allbusiness.com\/working-remotely-employers-build-morale-enhance-productivity-113194-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one study monitored the wellbeing of 255 call center employees for 9 months<\/a>-half of whom worked from home, while the other half continued to work at the office.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 9 months, the authors of the study concluded that remote workers had a higher positive attitude, less work exhaustion, and less attrition (17% vs. the control group at 35%).<\/p>\n<p>Even better, workers tend to be especially appreciative when they\u2019re given the ability to work from home&#8211;which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/voodle.com\/blog\/benefits-of-remote-work-voodle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to one Flexjobs survey<\/a>, a whopping 79% of employees said they would be more loyal to a company that offered more flexibility.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #3: Promote Work\/Life Balance<\/h3>\n<p>Not only are overworked employees more prone to anxiety and resentment, but they also experience lower morale and reduced productivity.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, new research from Stanford shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/nextbigideaclub.com\/magazine\/want-boost-workplace-morale-stop-6-things\/24238\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hourly productivity drops sharply when the workweek exceeds 50 hours<\/a>, and when it exceeds 55 hours, productivity declines so much that there\u2019s no benefit to having someone work beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>So, rather than promoting a morale-killing culture where working nights and weekends is the norm, show workers you value their wellbeing by establishing a corporate policy that they can\u2019t respond to emails on nights or weekends \u2026 and have to use their full vacation time every year.<\/p>\n<p>Although these are relatively small changes, they\u2019ll signal to workers that you care about their health and happiness&#8211;which will have a big impact on employee morale.<span id=\"start-scrolling\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #4: Small Gestures Mean a Lot<\/h3>\n<p>People experience high employee morale when they believe their employer truly cares&#8211;and views them as individuals, rather than merely \u201cresources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limeade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/LimeadeInstitute_TheScienceOfCare_Whitepaper_Web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Limeade Institute<\/a>, when employees feel cared for:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"no-margin-bottom\">\n<li>60% of them say they plan to stay at their companies for 3+ years (as opposed to only 7% who don\u2019t feel cared for)<\/li>\n<li>90% say they\u2019re likely to recommend their workplace as a great place to work<\/li>\n<li>94% feel personally engaged in their work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s a great idea to surprise employees from time-to-time with meaningful, small gestures&#8211;just to let them know your company cares.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you might try offering pizza parties, donut days, casual Fridays, occasional gift cards, paid birthdays off, or the opportunity to leave work early from time-to-time.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are these gestures fairly inexpensive, but they can also go a long way toward boosting employee morale.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #5: Solicit Employee Feedback<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Employee-Feedback.png\" alt=\"Employee Feedback\" width=\"859\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Employee-Feedback.png 859w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Employee-Feedback-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Employee-Feedback-768x343.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It can be tough to improve employee morale if you don\u2019t actually know what employees are thinking&#8211;which is why it\u2019s so important you ask them.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will soliciting feedback help you learn how employees really feel, but it\u2019s also a great morale booster, since workers want the ability to provide feedback&#8211;but most companies give them little opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, there are lots of different ways you can implement this. For example, you could collect feedback using an employee engagement survey, a suggestion box, or even during a one-on-one meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember that the method you use for collecting employee feedback is less important than that you act on the feedback you receive.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s not uncommon for employees to believe that nothing will come of the feedback they provide, so for this to be a successful morale booster, your organization needs to actually listen to employees&#8211;then respond accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #6: Encourage Team Building<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1147\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Encourage-Team-Building.png\" alt=\"Encourage Team Building\" width=\"854\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Encourage-Team-Building.png 854w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Encourage-Team-Building-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Encourage-Team-Building-768x221.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Research shows us that <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/importance-relationships-workplace-10380.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">team building improves<\/a> collaboration, productivity, employee retention rates, and engagement. It also helps foster workplace friendships, which is great for boosting employee morale.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/11\/13\/why-work-friendships-are-critical-for-long-term-happiness.html\">according to one Officevibe study<\/a>, 70% of employees say that friends at work are the most crucial element to a happy working life.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, team building activities are a really effective way to improve communication in the workplace. So much so that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bit.ai\/collaboration-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Keka<\/a>, 50% of the positive changes in communication patterns within the workplace can be accredited to social interaction outside of the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you encourage and promote social interaction beyond the office? We suggest trying some of the following activities:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"no-margin-bottom\">\n<li>Scavenger hunts<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer outings<\/li>\n<li>Trivia &amp; game nights<\/li>\n<li>Happy hours<\/li>\n<li>League nights (bowling, softball, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Classes (painting, cooking, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Sporting events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By planning fun activities, not only will you promote team cohesion and trust, but you\u2019ll also create an awesome corporate culture that\u2019ll have a huge positive impact on employee morale.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee Morale Booster #7: Buy Green Plants<\/h3>\n<p>This one may sound like it\u2019s coming from left field, but hear us out \u2026 by merely purchasing green plants and placing them strategically around the office, you can significantly boost employee morale.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/2549-green-plants-boost-job-satisfaction.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Live Science<\/a>, when 450 office workers were questioned about their job satisfaction and work environments, \u201cpeople who toiled in offices with plants and window views reported they felt better about their job and the work they performed, compared to those in windowless offices without shrubbery around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And interestingly enough, plants were shown to have a greater impact on work happiness than windows \u2026 which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engledow.com\/at-work\/2017\/05\/clearing-the-air-how-plants-can-help-improve-employee-health-and-morale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research suggests<\/a> that \u201cplants are one of the least expensive, most useful ways to improve your employees\u2019 experience of the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re looking for a cheap and easy way to boost employee morale, consider heading to your local nursery to pick up some green plants&#8211;stat!<\/p>\n<div class=\"conclusion\" style=\"background-color: #eaeffc;\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"in_conclusion\"><\/span>In Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Employee morale may be one of the most important issues facing companies today&#8211;especially when you consider the impact it has on retention rates, productivity, and profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are plenty of simple ways companies can improve employee morale \u2026 and by trying any or all of the morale-boosting methods we\u2019ve given here, you\u2019re virtually guaranteed to experience happier, more engaged employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The happier your employees are, the more efficiently your business will operate\u2013which is why employee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":1142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Boost Employee Morale With 7 Super-Effective Ways<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The happier your employees are, the more efficiently your business will operate.
