Frequently there is overlap in causes and effects of low morale, retention issues, and unproductive or unsupportive work environments.

A common approach is typically useful in these situations, although the findings and outcomes vary with factors such as the company’s culture and business needs.

The following example illustrates this effect.

Situation:
A sales division of a large multinational corporation was experiencing low morale, high turnover, and friction amongst co-workers. The Sales Vice President needed to address these issues to improve effectiveness and sales results.

Solution:
A working-level team was formed that was representative of the entire organization. The team analyzed employee survey data and interviewed colleagues to determine root causes and propose changes in communications, meeting structure, and employee involvement

Outcome:
The Sales Vice President accepted all the recommendations. There was an almost immediate improvement in morale, working relationships, and engagement as people saw the changes taking effect. Informal surveys confirmed the positive change.
