6 Creative Ways to Boost Employee Morale


When it comes to sustaining a successful business, one component which is often overlooked, but incredibly valuable, is employee morale. As business author Patrick Lencioni said, “When leaders throughout an organization take an active, genuine interest in the people they manage, when they invest real time to understand employees at a fundamental level, they create a climate for greater morale, loyalty and yes, growth.” If a management team drives vision for a business, and marketing brings clients into the business, then employees are those who actually move the business forward. 

After all, without employees, a business cannot make sales. And without happy employees, a business can definitely not be successful in sales. In fact, one article by Forbes even quoted a study which found that happy employees are as much as 20% more productive than unhappy ones. When it comes to sales in particular, happy salespeople can raise a company’s sales by as much as 37%. So, how can a business focus on creating and promoting a happy culture for its employees? Here are six creative ways to boost employee morale.

 

1. Have consistent huddles.

One of the best ways to boost morale is by having consistent huddles with employees. Oftentimes, employees might have an issue with something which management isn’t even aware of. By having daily, weekly or even monthly mini-meetings for employees to share what’s going well and what’s not working, you can make sure employees feel like their voice is heard.

 

2. Show the “why” behind the job.

Oftentimes, employees’ morale is low because they see no true purpose behind the work they do. No matter what industry you’re in, you can always find a “why” behind the job. Share this “why” with your employees. For instance, if a company is in the paper business, sharing a client’s story about reaching their audience with printed fliers is a great way to show employees their efforts actually make a difference for someone else.

 

3. Avoid micromanaging.

Nobody likes feeling less-than. When you micromanage employees, they feel like their voice isn’t heard, their work isn’t important and you don’t actually trust them to make decisions.
