How HR Can Boost Morale – Without Being Cheesy

A global study by Gallup found that employee engagement levels have decreased in the past two years and stood at just 20% in 2020. This followed a steady rise over the past decade. That’s according to the article "How HR can boost morale – without being cheesy", in HRD magazine, the HR magazine for HR directors.

When employees were asked how they felt about their present life situation, only 32% of them said they were thriving. This means almost two in three employees have been struggling in some way, and were more likely to report daily worry, stress, depression, sadness, or anger. The thriving employees, on the other hand, shared more hope about their current and future lives, and higher energy and interest levels.

The article shows how building trust, giving meaningful praise and recognition, creating a sense of belonging, and providing regular breaks can lead to a boost in employee engagement and morale.
