How to Raise Employee Morale

Sometimes it can be tough to know how to raise employee morale in the workplace, but our HR consulting firm is here to give you a few tips. If you need assistance with this HR related issue, call Kmet Consulting at 877-783-5638.


How to Raise Employee Morale


Tip #1
Give Your Employees Some Power
Employees can have a negative outlook on their jobs if they feel like they are being micromanaged. Make them feel like they can make a real difference at the company and give them more responsibility. If they excel at a certain task, allow them to train other employees on that task. Building confidence can raise morale.

Tip #2
Show Empathy as a Manager
If you know an employee is going through something tragic in their personal lives, show some empathy. Listen and be kind, if they come to you. Showing you care helps your employees to know they are valued.

Tip #3
Make Employees Use Their Vacation Time
According to the Washington Post, percent of Americans don't use all their allotted vacation time. Employees can start to feel "burnt out" if they don't take a break and it can be very easy to get caught up in the busyness of work and ignore your vacation time. Enforce a policy where they have to take it. Doing this can make for a better culture in the workplace and raise employee morale. 

Tip #4
Don't Overload Your Employees With E-mails
E-mails can be a good way of communicating in the workplace, but if your employees feel like you are sending too many per day, they can start to feel overwhelmed. If that's the case, then find a better way to communicate with them, go talk to them in person or call them. Give them and their inbox a break and make for a less stressful work environment.

Tip #5
Publicly Recognize Your Employees When They Do Well
Everyone likes feeling appreciated! Reward your employees when they've worked hard to deserve it. Here are a few examples you could try when recognizing employees:
  • Start a "THANK YOU" board and write a thank you note for an employee who does something you appreciated and post it on a board for everyone to see.
  • Host a work lunch and treat them to their favorite foods.
  • Show that you know your employee by giving them something they actually like. For example, if you've heard that the employee is really into baking, buy them a cookie sheet set or something along those lines.
