When the sun is shining and the weather is beautiful, no one loves being cooped up in the office. Therefore, it makes sense that it can sometimes be difficult to maintain high levels of summer employee engagement.

Best suggestions was the one stating asking the employees what they would prefer to improve working during summer months, especially in businesses that still have to provide services no matter what time of the year.

Happy employees are more innovative than unhappy employees? No? Then, hopefully, you are no one’s boss. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with how good and great organizations develop their vision, mission, and values – with input from employees. I know, what a concept – huh! Imagine an employee having worthwhile ideas and willingness to share them to improve service for customers and working environment for co-workers.
