Office morale can measure organizational effectiveness, performance, and productivity. Organizations that encompass team members with high office morale yield said results while business units where employees aren't as engaged, productive, or responsive reap the fruits of low employee morale. Low morale may be hard to detect. Still, several signs can provide indications such as lack of cooperation, little personal conversations between team members and leaders, increased turnover, and bad attitudes. If leaders recognize low office morale, then a series of tactics are instituted to help restore trust between leadership and teams or improve relationships between units within the organization as well. There are always reasons to implement connecting tactics. Silos and or barriers can form at any given time for one reason or the other. Examples within a sales organization are situations when individuals or teams are at odds over contracts, commission changes, or account assignments. Team leaders can be thrust into cycles of mistrust when details aren't effectively communicated. If occasions arise where leaders have strained trust, they can use an open forum to address the concerns. The public forum can boost morale by illustrating to the team members their voices are heard and respected. A forum can serve as the perfect opportunity to announce on off-site team builders, such as taking the entire organization to an obstacle course or bowling. Business leaders can use the off-site team builder to bridge or build better collaboration with other business units as well. The purpose of meeting in a neutral space is to provide the opportunity for connections to develop between team members, business units, or groups within the organization at odds with one another. The goal is the improve morale, increase trust, and build collaboration. The practice of connection seeks to forge relationships by creating person-to-person linkages rather than group-to-group ties (Ernst & Chrobot-Mason, 2011, p. 130-149).
