Abstract
As rewarding as public service can be, it is also quite stressful. It is difficult to be consistently efficient and pleasant and when doing so, staff morale is negatively impacted.There are ways to improve and strengthen staff morale and one of them is providing an environment where they feel appreciated and supported. This session will discuss methods how that may be achieved and more importantly, sustained. It will look at proven activities, individual and joint initiatives and designated areas for staff usage only. These concepts will be presented by a panel of Past Presidents from different eras, each unique in their approach. A "Joyful Environment" may be described in several ways but it may be understood best that you look forward to coming to work on Monday morning.
