Seven spirited contributions

The human brain has an innate ability to remember up to seven things: seven digits in a phone number, 7 colours of the rainbow, 7 ingredients for a happy workforce.  Put an eighth or ninth in the list and suddenly the test on our memory is often too much to handle.

Employee spirit is the vital life-force of business. Without it, the wheels would wobble and if not rectified, eventually, and usually frighteningly quickly, would fall off.

The energy that employees generate in the office or on the factory floor is the vibration that either keeps things humming along or makes life at work feel like a grind; so you could do a lot worse than remember this list of 7 things that could prove a useful tool when assessing just how you keep your guys and gals happy and engaged in their roles.
