Production, plainly stated, is good for the soul. Have you ever noticed how you feel at the end of your day after getting a lot of things done? Whether it is doing and completing home chores or finishing a to-do list at work, it just makes us feel good. There are many adages that have been written about the concept of working hard and production so there has to be something to it.
The happiest people are those that get things done, of course assuming those things are honest and legal! The morale of a whole company is based on the environment being run to optimize production. One would think just paying people a lot of money would increase morale. This is not so and in some cases can lessen morale for those who are paid more than they think they really deserve (but would never admit it). That is a fact.
Money as a form of motivation is important but it isn’t the end-all. Employees who are cared for as people, who are treated decently, who are provided good work and an environment set up to achieve production (good working machinery, supportive supervisors) in the end does more for the overall morale of a company.
Working with companies for over 28 years, we have seen many very well paid people absolutely dreading their jobs.
2020 has created unusual circumstances that have distracted the whole world. Uncertainties concerning our routine lives and life’s normal securities have affected us all.
The question is: what can we do about it? The answer is always PRODUCTION. Working hard and producing well directs our attention to things that we can control, which serves as a steady rudder in any storm.
Of course for employees to be able to produce well they have to be healthy and free of pain. FIT has been implementing our Backsafe® and Sittingsafe® Programs for hard working employees for over 28 years. Our track record for preventing back and shoulder injuries to non-office personnel with Backsafe hands-on workshops and preventing office related ergonomic injuries (and unnecessary spending on new office furniture) is unprecedented. Drops in injury rates by over 50%, employees saying “it is the best training we have ever had” (heard this just yesterday!), and helping morale at the same time is what we do.
Our motto is “Preventing Tomorrow’s Injuries Today™”! You push production and we’ll ensure healthy team members. Now that is a good partnership!
