Think about those days at work when just about everyone is in a good mood and everyone is willing to work hard to achieve goals–those days at work are the ones that keep employees wanting to go back and to work harder. Imagine you want your current company to enact a policy change that will function to increase employee morale. You may use one of the following examples or seek approval from your faculty member for a different policy change. Each of these policies has pros and cons for both the employer and other employees; be sure to address both sides of the change and provide solutions for the cons.
