Yes! You Can Make Your Company A Place Where People Want To Work!

Everyone knows that happy employees are productive employees, right? I think we've all heard that before. When people feel valued and happy in their work environment, they're able to focus on their job and get things done! Sounds pretty reasonable. So how do you get employee morale where you want it and make your business a place where people want to work?

Well, you could start with some perks! And I'm not talking only about financial perks. You can give your staff training — either skills specific to their job or skills that will help them advance to a higher level. Or, it could be the kind of training that gives them a better understanding of your company and the industry you work in. Whatever it is, it's a win-win for you and them! Who doesn't love a good win-win?

Another area not to ignore is the work environment. No, no... not the sleek office furniture you just got straight outta Amsterdam or the hip new Pantone color you painted the warehouse (though I admit those things are nice to look at!). I'm talking about the mood, the culture, the people. You know, the intangibles. No one likes having to pull someone else's weight or feeling stuck in an overly stressful, negative workplace. Monitor what's going on with your staff, ask them for input, acknowledge their accomplishments. If you can do these things consistently, your company will be a place where people want to work (almost as much as you do!).

Employee Morale Starts With You! Are You In A Good Mood?

Remember, you set the tone for your workplace. This doesn't mean you have to be in a good mood 24/7, but you should aim for a good "workplace mood" all the time. To help you with that this week, we've got a roundup of quotes from some of my favorite authors to help you focus on boosting employee morale. We started with Stats & Curiosities from Harvard Business Review.

In Shawn Achor's book, Before Happiness, he shows how a positive mindset is the best predictor of motivation and performance in the workplace.
