How do you manage your employees' morale?

The level of work ethic varies in every workplace. Slight fluctuations in employee commitment are completely natural. They often relate to holiday periods, for example, or public holidays. Maintaining high work ethic long-term is a challenge (also) for the HR department.

But is it really such a significant matter? We will present you with some facts concerning employee motivation that might help you reevaluate your perspective on this issue.

Engaged employees show a 21% increase in profitability

Keeping employees engaged and motivated can increase a company's earnings, and some surveys show that Engaged employees achieve up to 21% higher profitability than those who lack motivation.

The most successful companies when planning a business strategy include Employee engagement first. These companies provide employees with the best tools and give them realistic and clear expectations.

Almost every employee believes that empathy is key

When we look at employee retention statistics, we can see that people highly value empathy. As many as 96% of people believe that recognizing others’ emotions is a very important part of morale and retention in a given job.

This means that morality and empathy are strongly interconnected. People in the workplace will only feel safe and motivated if the company recognizes their emotional states and knows how to respond to them appropriately and sensitively.

Employees with low morale cost an unbelievable amount of money

A survey was conducted in the USA to determine how much companies lose annually on employees who don't „live“ for the company enough. $550 billion a year! That's the amount American companies lose on disengaged employees.

This brings us to the well-known rule „less is sometimes more.“ With more people in the workplace, the proportion of those disengaged also increases proportionally.

Therefore, it is a better choice to have, although fewer employees, but high-quality ones.

To overcome this problem, companies should pay more attention to communication between management and employees and make every effort to build a healthy organizational structure.

Burnout syndrome affects 6 out of 10 employees

Another interesting HR fact suggests that over half of people will eventually burn out. Approximately 61 % employees simply burn out due to the high levels of stress associated with their work environment. This fact should serve as a wake-up call for company management. As mentioned above, a relaxed employee is a productive employee.

The best way to avoid employee burnout is to organize regular stress management workshops and sessions, organize team-building events, and maintain regular communication within the company at all levels.
