Commitment
Employees with high morale have a higher level of commitment to theiremployer than employees with low morale.
Committed employees are more productive because they tend to stay at their jobs longer, honing their skills and developing an understanding of the bigpicture, which enables them to effectively resolve difficulties.
For example, if you run a donut shop and your donut machine breaks, anengaged employee with experience will know how to repair it, while anemployee with low morale will be more likely to simply walk away..

Attendance
Employees with high morale tend to have a better attendance record thanemployees with low morale because they are less likely to use any possibleexcuse to avoid coming to work.
To stay productive, your company must be staffed at an effective level.
For example, if you run a manufacturing plant and an employee with lowmorale calls in sick, you may have idle employees in another phase of theproduction process because they cannot work without the parts that he wouldhave produced

Mistakes
It is common for employees who are unhappy at work to not particularlycare if they make mistakes that have a negative impact on the business.
An employee with low morale might not make the effort to follow throughand remedy a situation that requires extra effort.
For example, an employee on a production line who does not bother topull a defective part hinders productivity down the line, as that partbecomes part of a larger assembly.
