10 Inexpensive Ways To Boost Employee Morale
Enhancing the good will (and productivity) in your workplace is exceedingly important, but it doesn't have to be excessively expensive.
Trying to boost your company's bottom line? It's time invest in employee morale. Happy workers are 12 percent more productive, according to a study from Warwick Business School.
Conversely, unhappy employees can be detrimental to your business. Not only are they less productive and absent more often, but you will pay the price for months or years to come if they end up walking out the door. Turnover costs are estimated to be from 30 percent of annual salary for an entry level employee up to 400 percent of annual salary for a high-level employee.

It also outlines three key areas to develop a winning team: hiring top quality staff by considering references, qualities, and talent+interest+values; firing promptly and directly; and inspiring through continual growth, teamwork, and leadership development.
Self Assessment

The document recommends examining one's interests, strengths, and traits through questions about strengths, passions, and feedback from others to identify contributions and make informed career decisions. A thorough self-assessment considers personal factors like attributes, values, skills, interests, culture, gender, family, disability, and pride experiences.
self assessment

Questions cover topics such as describing one's personality in five words, listing statements that answer "who am I?", recalling favorite childhood memories, and identifying one's proudest achievement and greatest strengths and weaknesses in intellectual abilities and social skills. A timeline can also be drawn to indicate peak and worst situations over the course of one's life.

Making the right choice!

you to do a job you already enjoy,
you are way ahead of the game.
Rule#2: Choose carefully &
thoughtfully.
Rule#3: Make it meaningful to
you.
Choose Career Options That
Match Your Values
Knowing what you value most will help you
refine your career search and choice.
– Helping others
– Prestige
– High income
– Fewer work hours
Establish and align values, career choice,
and career goals for motivation.
Surviving in a Fast Economy
You are, more or less, solely responsible for
your career.
You must accept risks and plan for the future to
advance your career.
A college degree does not guarantee
employment.
A commitment to lifelong learning will help keep
you employable.
Factors to Consider
Do:
explore a number of
careers and majors
get involved
follow your passion
Don’t:
focus on a major just
to get a career out of
it
select a major just
because it is “cool” or
seems to promise
prestige
let someone else
push you into a job
