  How to boost employee morale Figure 1 : Employee morale What is employee morale? Several concepts from diverse perspectives are used to define morale. Morale in a military context refers to esprit-de-corps or the drive to do the prescribed mission. In sports, it may refer to a team's self-assurance; in education, to students' desire to study; and in business, to the ambition to achieve objectives.
