It's been a bad day...

Mon, 21/09/2009 - 08:01 — anthonymull

According to a survey of more than 3,000 UK employees a negative workplace atmosphere is a more common cause for staff having a bad day at work than dealing with a difficult boss, unhappy customer or being forced to carry out tedious tasks. But do you agree?

Employers, what would you identify as being the single greatest factor affecting a workers day? More importantly, what measures have you taken to correct any issues with worker morale?

Just to turn this around, I often find that when I've had a really stressful morning, getting the kids ready for school, driving to work, looking for a parking space etc. I get a huge morale boost when I finally make it into the office, sit down and someone offers to make me a cup of tea. Having a great workplace atmosphere can definitely turn a bad day into a good one.
