Employee morale describes the overall outlook, attitude, satisfaction, and confidence that employees feel at work. When employees are positive about their work environment and believe that they can meet their most important career and vocational needs, employee morale is positive or high.

Like employee motivation, you can’t give an employee positive morale. As an employer, though, you do control large components of the environment in which employees work each day. Consequently, you are a powerful contributor to whether an employee’s morale is positive or negative.
What you will learn
Portions of the environment that you control that have an impact on employee morale include things like the effectiveness of your managers, the quality of manager's interaction with employees, and the way employees interact with each other on a day-to-day basis.

You hold the cards to creating the environment or culture in which these positive factors are valued. For starters, it's as simple as rewarding and recognizing the managers who best display the characteristics you want to see in their interactions with employees.
