| ShannonRenee | A1 Workplace morale – how folks feel Abbott their work, co-workers and the environment they work in #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:13:51 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: I think of workplace morale as the positive or negative emotional standing of the ind. or group. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:13:52 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q2: Do you believe morale affects individual or group workplace productivity more? Why? #prodchat https://t.co/5NgylIQeDM | Thu Sep 07 00:15:00 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A1: by giving grp or individual ownership, learning opportunity & building trust #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:15:51 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A1 As leader, it’s my goal to help folks have good or high workplace morale. Happy workers do better work, produce more. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:16:01 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2: Sort of a chicken v. egg thing. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:16:04 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @rsidneysmith: Q2: Do you believe morale affects individual or group workplace productivity more? Why? #prodchat https://t.co/5NgylIQeDM | Thu Sep 07 00:16:18 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A1 Workplace morale is a measure of organization climate. A happy, engaged workforce results in double-digit productivity gains. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:16:50 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck It certainly can be in some workplace circumstances! #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:16:55 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2: Individual morale spreads to the group. “One bad apple…” #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:17:00 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2: But group morale sours (or energizes) individuals. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:17:35 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2: But group morale sours (or energizes) individuals. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:17:35 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: I think individual morale (and #productivity) are the lifeblood of group productivity. So individuals affect more. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:17:53 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A2 Morale directly & indirectly impacts productivity. Low morale can lead to sloppy work and low productivity. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:17:57 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A2 Individual and group morale interact for good or bad. It’s the one bad apple effect. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:19:07 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A2 Really low or even bad morale can be destructive behavior, possibly leading to sabotage. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:19:18 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A2: yes, it has direct impact over productivity #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:20:30 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q3: How do you maintain morale and workplace productivity when things are well already? #prodchat https://t.co/Q1m1YuV6gx | Thu Sep 07 00:21:20 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A2 Morale is contagious. It can spread like laughter or an infectious virus. The latter can be stymied if caught in time. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:21:37 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A3 First, do no harm. Also don’t assume. Regularly interact with workers to make sure there are no morale issues festering. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:21:52 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @rsidneysmith: Q3: How do you maintain morale and workplace productivity when things are well already? #prodchat https://t.co/Q1m1YuV6gx | Thu Sep 07 00:21:56 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3: Talk about the successes. Let others know the good stuff is recognized. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:22:15 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A3: I like to host team events that honor and reward the group for great performance. This keeps everyone in good spirits. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:22:21 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3: at the same time, if morale is high, it may be a good time to tackle something that has been a problem. May have more buy-in. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:22:54 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @DrFrankBuck: A3: Talk about the successes. Let others know the good stuff is recognized. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:24:15 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A3: I also try to find out the intrinsic motivators of my team. This helps me understand why they’re performing well. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:24:37 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q4: How do you start to improve morale when things are not going well? #prodchat https://t.co/8pY3qxFZkK | Thu Sep 07 00:25:00 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @rsidneysmith: Q4: How do you start to improve morale when things are not going well? #prodchat https://t.co/8pY3qxFZkK | Thu Sep 07 00:25:26 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A4 Corporate culture and morale flows from the top. If you detect problems, look first to yourself. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:26:20 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A4: Start with the top performers. Get their ideas and recognize their accomplishments privately. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:26:24 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | RT @JKatzaman: A4 Corporate culture and morale flows from the top. If you detect problems, look first to yourself. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:26:34 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A5a: I think it’s important to interview every person on the team, even if as many as you can by email survey on larger org’s. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:27:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A5b: People usually know what the people problems are in a group environment, that affects morale and their productivity. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:27:27 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A4 I work to find and root out the source of the discontent. I also have to be open to hear of I’m that source. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:27:29 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A5c: Even if their assertions are incorrect, that information can be very informative on how to proceed positively. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:27:46 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A4 I let folks know they are valued and important to the team and the organization. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:29:02 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A4: first need to understand the pain areas & then engage teams/individual accordingly #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:29:06 +0000 2017 |

| rsidneysmith | Oops…all of my A5’s earlier are really A4’s! #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:30:16 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @rsidneysmith: Q5: What are some of the common factors for low workplace morale? #prodchat https://t.co/l13yiS5EYv | Thu Sep 07 00:30:23 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A5: Feeling like your work is not appreciated. Others not pulling their weight. Rude treatment. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:31:10 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A5: Poor communication, not managing resources properly, poor time and project management skills of individual members. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:31:24 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A3: To sustain the morale, conduct different activities from fun to learn new tech/domain/ any other skill required #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:31:41 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck True. There are a host of emotional factors as well to what makes morale low. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:31:46 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A5 Overwork, lack of feeling appreciated and lack of respect and recognition for work done. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:32:28 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A5 Poor morale results when employees feel under valued, under used and disengaged. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:33:40 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A5: Reminds me tangentially of this @shawnachor TED talk: https://t.co/pJ2wiBiQJD #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:34:01 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A5: delegation of work not proper, undefined roles & responsibilities, no learning opportunities are few… #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:34:02 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q6: Conflict is a common workplace morale detractor, lowering productivity. What can you do about this? #prodchat https://t.co/yZNLMhAvvP | Thu Sep 07 00:35:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ShannonRenee I see this happen with many solopreneurs…they have all of these problems, and they’re the cause and effect! #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:35:19 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A6: Communication was mentioned earlier, and I think good communication system cuts down on conflict. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:35:59 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A5 Low morale can take hold when the organization goes thru changes, which can cause anxiety about job security. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:36:24 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6: If the budget is available, I suggest training programs (like, https://t.co/h0x04YzDMG) that teach how to deal with conflict. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:36:37 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ShannonRenee Good point, Shannon! This can also happen on a macro level when economies/markets are down. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:37:11 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6: Bring together parties in conflict and either host a town hall, one-to-one mediation, etc. Address conflicts in safe spaces. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:38:17 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A6 Conflict resolution is an often overlooked leadership skill. It takes patience and active listening. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:38:38 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6: I suggest everyone look at IBN (interest based negotiation) and look at how this deflects attacks and focuses solutions. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:39:26 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A6: Need to find the root cause of Conflict & then act, sometime it may be just a different perspective to a problem #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:39:34 +0000 2017 |
| prodchat | RT @ShannonRenee: A6 Conflict resolution is an often overlooked leadership skill. It takes patience and active listening. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:39:40 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q7: How can you improve communication to increase morale and productivity in an organization? #prodchat https://t.co/OkT1yZ5LXn | Thu Sep 07 00:40:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | I’ve seen a few times today, when morale is low, investigate the underlying causes then create a plan to correct course. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:40:43 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A6 If you have the resources, hiring a professional mediator can do an organization good. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:40:56 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | RT @rsidneysmith: Q7: How can you improve communication to increase morale and productivity in an organization? #prodchat https://t.co/OkT1… | Thu Sep 07 00:41:20 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A6 Conflicts can arise from competition. Reemphasize common goals and values with all working together. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:42:27 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A7: Clarity on goals, clarity on workplace norms and expectations, efficient system for written day-to-day internal communication. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:42:44 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A7: communication plays an most imp role, leadership need to be proactive, transparent & share at the right time #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:43:05 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ShannonRenee Agreed! I think most people think mediators are only for conflict between organizations, not between… https://t.co/W6gnWTTiYq | Thu Sep 07 00:43:14 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A7 I made time to meet with my team members individually, usually in casual settings such as walks or lunches. #ProdChat |
Thu Sep 07 00:43:22 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A7 Effective communication must be in place from the start. If employees misunderstand, that’s on management to get right. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:44:29 +0000 2017 |
| prodbookgrp | Join us for our next #Productivity Book Group live discussion! https://t.co/n14akGBB5E #prodchat https://t.co/EndkK9xHQe | Thu Sep 07 00:45:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q8: How much responsibility should managers versus employees have to keeping morale positive in an organization?… https://t.co/E0xN1Lcggi | Thu Sep 07 00:45:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A7: Again, like productivity, conflict or other training, this comes down to developing your people’s communication skills. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:45:04 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A8: It takes both, but the boss has to shoulder the responsibility. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:45:41 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A7a: They might be a great admin, technician, etc., but you can’t presume your team members are coming to you with these skills. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:46:11 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A8a: I think I *tend* to agree with @JKatzaman’s thoughts that most of it comes down from management. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:46:43 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A8: it flows from top to bottom, so leadership has a bigger role to play #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:46:44 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A7 I give praise when earned & feedback when warranted. My team should feel I’m their fiercest critic & biggest cheerleader #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:46:46 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A8 Everyone plays a role in morale, but managers bear the burden because corporate culture starts at the top. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:47:04 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A8b: But, there are times, when you simply have a strong personality problem with one or a few people. And they simply don’t mesh. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:47:07 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A8c: But, at the end of the day, the buck stops with me, as management. So, managers need to be responsible for solving it. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:47:56 +0000 2017 |

| DrFrankBuck | A8: yes, Ray, I always felt like the “buck” stopped with me too. :) #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:48:51 +0000 2017 |
| ShannonRenee | A8 Employees are responsible for their feelings. Leaders can contribute to and exacerbate those feelings. #ProdChat |

| rsidneysmith | A8: Also, as soon as management knows there’s a morale problem, then it is their responsibility fully. No passing blame then. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:50:29 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A9: I think you need the face-to-face interaction to build teamwork and hold each other accountable for putting in a day’s work. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:51:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A9a: I think it’s highly tailored to the specific organizational culture. I work as a primarily remote team and have good morale. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:51:34 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A9b: But, I know some businesses where that simply would devolve into a low morale environment. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:51:56 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A9: it depends kind of jobs, in IT or support it is possible, however others jobs needs presence at workplace #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:52:43 +0000 2017 |
| JKatzaman | A9 Morale related to at-home work depends on attitudes from management. Some pay lip service but resent those not visible at hand. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:52:44 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A9: New technologies (one-to-one videoconferencing and virtual conference rooms) are making it easier to build morale remotely. #prodchat | Thu Sep 07 00:54:41 +0000 2017 |

| JKatzaman | A10 If you want to review today’s #WorkTrends chat, it was all about corporate culture and monetization. Yeah, I sort of cheated. #ProdChat | Thu Sep 07 00:58:02 +0000 2017 |
