Assess Where Your Employee Morale Stand?

         

The worst  you want to do is wait until your employees’ morale is in the toilet!  You want to catch employees’ morale and bring it to a HALT before it is too late.  Trust me on this!  It is relatively easy to tell when employee morale is high or low.  When reviewing employee morale over time, however, you have to measure it. Although it’s not an easy task, it is task worth completing.

What’s some signs employee  morale is low?

• Unmotivated employees are a sure sign of low employee morale. Employees sometimes go through the motions, taking an inactive role  within the organization.  It is important to foster an environment wherein employee are challenged, creative and being problem solvers.

• Signs of unhappy employees will show.  Be cognizant of red flags such as increased negativity, excessive absenteeism and reduced cooperation or commitment.

• Decreased performance resulting in missed deadlines and increased mistakes and service level declines. If you workforce seem overworked, considering taking on temporary employees to ease the workload.

What are some signs of high employee morale?

• Better production.  Face it when employees feel positive and work environment, their production is higher normally.

• Reduced absenteeism.  Motivated employees miss less work and far more engaged.

• High/positive morale yields increased collaboration among workers.

• Motivated employees fix problems without being asked.

Of course the latter is what all employers strive!

Some ways to discover exactly WHERE your employee morale is?

• Record the number of improvement suggesting given by employees. According to the BSC Designer, the number of suggestions per employee reflects engagement and morale.

• When implementing new company initiatives, pay close attention to feedback from employees, rather negative or positive. In other actually survey employees and their response to initiative(s). 

• Conduct a personal assessment of individual employee morale during performance reviews.
