1 Comment On: Is Morale Irrelevant?
Well, isn’t the negligence of employee’s morale in difficult economic times not only an indicator for the lack of senior managements’ understanding of the issue itself? My feeling is, that good senior management has always embraced the idea of keeping employee morale up at highest levels – whatever up- or downturn the economy is in. Certainly mediocre managers only see the results of their inappropriate behavior when the economic situation is in an upswing and unhappy employees leave in flocks.
I wonder if there is a chance to work out a study on the economic effects of such effects. This could convince all these numbers-driven managers to shift their understanding.
