Employee Morale Proposal
Having a positive work environment is conducive to maximum productivity and a minimum of employee complaints. Think about those days at work when just about everyone is in a good mood and everyone is willing to work hard to achieve goals–those days at work are the ones that keep employees wanting to go back and to work harder.
Imagine you want your company to enact a policy change that will function to increase employee morale. Morale has been low lately because of several negative incidents. You may use one of the following examples or seek approval from your faculty member for a different policy change:
- Allowing employees to bring pets to work
- Increasing the amount of vacation/personal time allotted to employees
- Allowing employees to telecommute
- Providing free massages at work
- Serving free drinks/food
