there and measure performance along the way. Organizations without clear goals are more
likely to spend time on tasks that do not impact results.
Tools and Equipment
Just as a driver needs a vehicle in operating condition, employees must have the tools and
equipment necessary for their specific jobs. This includes physical tools, supplies, software
and information. Outdated equipment, or none at all, has a detrimental affect on the bottom
line.
Morale and Company Culture
Morale and company culture are both difficult to define but employees will be able to report
when they are poor or positive. Poor morale exists when there is significant whining,
complaining and people just don't want to come to work. On the positive end, the workplace
is energized by a sense of purpose and teams that genuinely want to work together.
Bank Policy: The reward & compensation policies are designed to motived the
hardworking employee as it is also help full to create the high moral in employee and
positive company culture.
