Some make friends and some do not. They look forward to Friday and rejoice on payday. The morale ebbs and flows, as it does in places of business. Overall, you feel good about your team. Your employees may seem happy, but are they engaged? Do they have a positive, emotional connection to their jobs? An article in the New York Daily News reports that nearly 70% of U.S. employees are miserable at work.
