We know that the default settings determine the behavior of the group. Organ donation, 401k allocations, the typeface on our word processor--the way it's set to act if we don't override it is often the way we act.

The results of many Employee Opinion Surveys we conduct often indicate that morale is low in specific departments or across the entire organization. Morale is tricky because it is usually the result of other problems. Yet, once the root causes are identified, turning around morale can be quite simple.
