Incentive Magazine: “Survey Finds Employee Morale on the Rise”

Palmer’s article reports that a “survey from the staffing firm Accountemps finds that 42 percent of chief financial officers (CFOs) have seen an improvement in employee morale over the past 12 months. An additional 53 percent have seen no change, leaving a modest 5 percent who have seen a dip in morale.”
