How One Company Manager Created Happy, Motivated Employees... with Amazing Results... and on a Shoestring Budget!
And how you can, too!
A letter to all workplace leaders from Harriet Meyerson, founder of ConfidenceCenter.com
"I have 3 free morale boosters for you, but first would you please read this amazing story."
No company is safe...
From the executive board room to the mailroom, it’s a silent epidemic sweeping through the nation; its effects are visible, right under your nose- within your own company, and within many other companies – just like yours…
Its causalities are productivity and profit – where millions never- to- be- seen- again revenues, seem to vanish out the back door. All because of low employee morale, poor attitudes and a negative working atmosphere.
Recent reports from HR Direct points out that a company of 100 employees could stand to lose nearly $75,000 per year just due to absenteeism and tardiness.
Here’s the Million Dollar question…
"Why is low employee
morale so rampant …so extensive …so seemly out of control
across our nation? And is there anything you can do to raise employee
morale and decrease employee turnover...?"
Good question... I’ll
answer that in a moment... but first a true story...
One day, I stopped in to see a client, the manager of a call center. The large call center room was painted stark white. Numerous white pillars were surrounded by gray work stations. I had gone there because the manager had asked me to help raise employee morale.
Absenteeism at the call center was so high they had to employ extra people in anticipation of absentees.
My
first thought was, "Something has to be done about these depressing
surroundings..."
"Can
you paint the room a soft pastel color," I asked?
"Sorry," she answered, "We don't have the budget."
"Well." I suggested, "How about putting silk flowers throughout the call center."
"Sorry," she answered, "We don't have the budget for that either."
Grasping at straws, I said, "How about decorating for a holiday each month?"
"I could do that!" she replied. "Halloween is coming up next month."
Low employee morale was costing her company a lot of money.
After leaving the call center room, I sat down with the manager and six of her supervisors in a small conference room, and explained the basic theory of employee morale and gave her ideas she could immediately use to bulid an employee motivation program at her company on a shoestring budget.
She knew that low employee morale was costing her company a lot of money - in employee absenteeism, turnover and lost sales because of negative attitudes. I wondered if they would take some action on my suggestions.
I'll finish the story in a minute... but first...
Do
you know how much money poor morale is costing your company?
Stop a moment and think –
How much does the hiring and training cost when you have to replace only one employee?
How much do the hours of lost productivity cost because your staff has low energy?
How much is the cost of a lost customer because an employee had a negative attitude on the phone?
How much money are you losing because of a lack of employee cooperation and team spirit?
When
it comes to employee morale doing nothing is expensive!
It's
all up to you!
When employees gripe, complain and gossip, it's up to you to create a positive atmosphere and a cooperative spirit... or the negativity will cost your company money.
When employees are depressed and lethargic, it's up to you to energize them... or the lack of productivity will cost your company money.
No matter what tough employee morale problems crop up, you have to be ready to fix them. If you don't - it costs your company money.
What
if you have little or no budget for an employee morale program?
You're not alone. Many companies don’t have a big employee morale budget. However, don't despair! We can show you the secrets of raising employee morale without spending a lot of money. But, don’t kid yourself – to raise morale you must do something. And...It's not just about having fun at work, there's something else, too...
Your
employees need more than a paycheck. Good news...You can give your employees what they need without spending a lot of money!

You can give your employees what they need without spending a lot of money when you have creative ideas. Employee morale boosters that address your employees' specific needs are the key to keeping your employees loyal, happy, and motivated.
We’ll show you where to get them in a minute, but first let’s see what happened at the call center…
At
the call center - One month later...
The results were simply amazing!
I returned to the call center a month later - in mid October. As I entered what last month was a stark white room, I was speechless!
The call center's operations room had not only been decorated, It had been transformed into a haunted house! Ghosts, goblins, and big black spiders were hanging from the ceiling and cobwebs were everywhere.
"The employees did it themselves! They brought in their own decorations. They were so excited! It really developed a team spirit," the manager excitedly explained.
And there's more...
"The staff is having a contest matching employees with their baby pictures. They are so excited about this contest. It's been going on all week and Friday they get to find out who is who," the manager proudly said.
And... Absenteeism is way down - saving us $$$…
"Everybody
is so fired up, about the Spirit Teams you helped us create, and the best part is that absenteeism is way down
because nobody wants to miss out on all the fun! This saves us thousands of dollars in
hiring and training new employees."
