Employee morale is an essential component of a high-performing organization. Employees who are not happy with the work environment become, at best, distracted and, at worst, destructive to productivity.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following elements surrounding employee morale and its effects on the workplace:

• Describe situations and organizational variables that impact employee morale.
• Explain, using examples, the impact of individual perception on morale.
• Discuss how employee empowerment and decision-making autonomy impact morale.
• Develop recommendations for initiative that organizations can implement to positively affect employee morale.
