What would you do to make sure everyone on your payroll was at their happiest? Would you give company-wide bonuses or raises? Would you add a week of PTO to your onboarding package? 

The most satisfied employees have a better chance of being successful. However, you don’t have to unrealistically uppercut compensation to improve employee morale. In fact, these three tips will help you lift satisfaction in the most sustainable ways possible.   

Provide an Outlet for Opinions 

If you aren’t sure how or where to start with improving employee morale, ask your employees. While you don’t have to be as direct as to imply that morale is low, you can use company- or department-wide surveys to pull valuable answers from your staff. Some important questions to ask include: 

• If you could change anything about our workplace, what would you change? 
• How do you feel about our company culture? 
• What do you like most about working here? 
• Is there any training that you feel would make your job easier or more satisfying? 

Support Your Staff Through Training 

No matter what industry you work in, there’s always more to learn. By training your talent, you can not only empower your employees, but also show them that you’re invested in their future. Adopting new information and expanding their skillset, your employees become more of an asset when they have more to offer — and they become more satisfied when they feel like a valued member of your team. 

Offer Ancillary Benefits 

To feel confident in their future with your company, employees need to know that they’ll have flexible options for their health and wellness. In combination with your current heath, vision, and dental plans, provide peace of mind to your working professionals through ancillary benefits. Some of the top ancillary benefits include: 

• Cancer
• Accident
• Hospitalization insurance 
• Short-Term Disability
• Specified Health Event Protection
