The feel-good factor: How volunteering can boost office morale. Giving employees time off to volunteer, or funding their philanthropic work, is an easy way to improve morale at work. Some people sit on a beach when they have paid time off from work.
According to Alexander H. Leighton, morale is the capacity of a group of people to pull together persistently and consistently in pursuit of a common purpose. Morale is important in the military, because it improves unit cohesion. Without good morale, a force will be more likely to give up or surrender. Morale is usually assessed at a collective, rather than an individual level. In wartime, civilian morale is also important. Esprit de corps is considered to be an important part of a fighting unit.
