mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Improving


workers morale and productivity. It is very pertinent to improve the workers


morale so as to enhance greater level of productivity. Any organization that


has no consideration on how the morale of the workers can be improved is liable


to face a lower level of productivity. This strategy is adopted to increase the


employer/employee relationship and if it can be achieved, it is by giving


incentives like free transport allowance and in fact make them have a sense of


belonging. Improving workers morale has been one of the main strategies adopted


in most of our organizations in Nigeria because it is a process by which


workers get motivated in order to enhance productivity services effectively.


This prospect has been a broad area of concern to most of our existing firms or


organizations who do not know how to get workers motivated thereby improving


their morale and productivity.
