Low work morale

My department has noticed that the employees are under performing due to work morale in the recent past. The low performance has been identified in the production department in which the employee turnover has been declining posing a question to the department for need to improve in the productivity of the department (Ippolito, 2011).

What I have been able to notice is that the employees have been complaining concerning poor working environment and lack of protective wear. The case was reported earlier and it’s like the departmental head has been sitting on the issue and failed to take action to handle the issue before it created pressure on their side. The employees urge that if those grievances are checked into, they will be encouraged to work an extra mile because their morale will be boosted. They fear for their lives working in the poor conditions and lack of protective wear (Kirkpatrick, 2010).

I have chosen this topic because; I want to work in Organizational Psychologist in this organization and because the case deals with my psychology department, to put the issue to the knowledge of the managing director so that necessary action can be taken. I have chosen to this topic because it has arisen as a great concern to everyone in the organization and the whole department requires scrutiny because, it’s like some of the departmental officials are not taking their duties with the seriousness they ought to. I have also chosen this topic because, the production department determines the success of the organization and not until this issue is looked into; the whole organization faces a threat of collapsing (Sormaz, & Tulgan, 2013).

The objective of this paper will table matters that need immediate action and also put the production department under spotlight because they are failing to check into employee’s welfare. This is what they have been employed into the organization and they ought to take it upon themselves to protect the welfare of their employees (Bach, Kessler, & White, 2015).
