1.IMPAACT OF EMPLOYEE MORALE
What is employee morale?
Employee Morale
 Employee morale is the attitude, satisfaction, and overall outlook of employees during
their association with an organization or a business. If your organization has a poor
culture then there will be adverse effects like low productivity, low employee satisfaction,
etc.
 It can most certainly lead to greater employee attrition, just to begin with.
Importance of employee morale.
 Employee morale is important because it’s linked directly to employee engagement, job
satisfaction, employee retention, and overall productivity. With good employee morale,
employees are more likely to be engaged, be more productive, and have a better quality of
life.
 Low employee morale limits productivity and can affect your employee’s health and
wellbeing.
Factors affecting morale.
Employee morale is a complex phenomenon and depends on various factors. Here is the different criterion
that affects employee morale:
 1. The organization’s employee morale:
While it may sound surprising, the organization itself is one of the biggest and most important factors that
affect employee morale. An organization influences an employee’s attitude towards his/her work. The
reputation of an organization can certainly build up for better or worse, their attitude towards it.
 2. Type of work:
The nature of work an employee is performing at his/her workplace also is greatly responsible to
determine the morale. It can make situations worse for an employee. Therefore, an unorganized
organizational structure also affects employees, if the employee feels that he/she is just a cog machine in a
factory line, instead of a real person, this too may adversely affect their morale.
 3. Personal attributes:
Mental and physical health play an important role in determining employee morale. There are also
other important factors that concern their progress and in turn their morale: age, education
qualification, years of experience, occupational levels, reward perception, and similar factors.
 4. Supervision and feedback:
The level of supervision received by an employee is a tremendous factor that affects morale. If the
employees feel they have no direction or don’t understand the organizational goals and commitments,
then it is the job of the superiors and the leadership in the organization to get them on the same page.
But there should not be too much interference too if the employees are given the freedom to work their
morale will be high.
 5. Work-Life balance influences employee morale:
Most organizations fail to recognize the importance of a healthy work-life balance. It is
important that the employees have some activities to relax while they are at work. It’s not just
about the foosball culture or an inventory stuffed with food. Forbes magazine emphasizes the
importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle for employees to increase productivity and
boost levels of employee satisfaction.
4 tips to boost employee morale.
 1. Streamline work based on skills:
It is important for Human Resources to recruit and assign people based on their skill set. You cannot hire a lawyer
and expect him/her to carry out tasks that you would expect an engineer to do. Allowing people to work based on
their competency is a win-win situation for both employees and employers.
 2. Train them well for professional development:
Most organizations fail to understand the importance of training their staff. Be it employee onboarding or any other
formal training process, employees should be well-equipped to perform their tasks at work and achieve their goals.
There should be a budget assigned at the start of the financial year that facilitates the training and development
program.
This training will help employees sharpen their skills, which will not only benefit them but also the organization. A
well-organized and self-sufficient workforce is every organization’s dream, so pay for these courses that ignite
imagination and spark curiosity, build confidence and lead to a high morale workforce.
 3. Recognize and reward employees to boost employee morale:
Employee recognition and reward keep your workforce motivated. When, as a leader, you create an environment where
good work is appreciated, employees feel empowered and take a personal interest in the tasks they are assigned to
them.
The purpose of employee recognition should be to reinforce what an organization wants an employee to do more.
When an employee performs well make sure to applaud his/her hard work and achievements.
 4. Be open to feedback:
Many organizations today, promote the open door policy, where an employee is free to express what they feel to their
superiors or their reporting authority because they are open to feedback.
Employees need to feel they can come to their managers. Therefore, this will create a healthy and reoccurring feedback
loop that will improve your team. Instead, be receptive to feedback, transparency is the need of the hour for most
organizations and so it should be.
