When people can really feel that they contribute and make a tangible difference in the community/world, their passion and commitment to the organization is exponential. It can be a great tool in employee retention and non financial employee benefits that increase job satisfaction. In economically challenging times, most companies will be asking fewer people to do a lot more of the work. Many will rise to this challenge with "community cultural pride' when they are truly behind the organization. Attitude can be infectious and authentic modeling from executives is key!

I have to say, I've never been more excited about a job in my career since joining VerticalResponse because I witness the passion of our CEO (sitting right next to her doesn't hurt) and our customers on a daily basis. If the passion isn't contagious within your organization, ask yourself if you've been displaying it, if your management team feels it and if everyone shares positive feedback from the customers on a regular basis.

We can diversify the work that we do and make an effort to sustain one another in a way that helps all of us weather the storm. Thanks for your thoughts.

I've seen a bad attitude infecting hard working employees as well, in this case if you don't root out the problem you might lose a valuable asset. It's, in my experience, terribly hard to spot these bad influences in advance. the only effective method of dealing with this kind of thread is keeping a close watch on your employees productivity, and more importantly, their happiness Jmes I agree, only a bit halfheartedly.
