Why don't managers get the fact that high morale=more productivity?

Answer 1

Probably because the standard for "high morale" is always changing. Managers are often not skilled and trained by the corporation, thus they don't know how to provide a good working environment.

Setting clearly understood goals, addressing negative issues immediately and recognizing everyone's contributions are 3 easy steps.

If your managers don't get it, neither does the corporation.....
