Does your workplace have somewhere to feed the staff or an area to allow them to enjoy a few minutes coffee and sit down?.
Is that area merely filled with newspapers declaring gloom around the world, or glossy picture mags with celebrity gossip and dubious claims on the lives of others?
This does nothing to foster an upbeat 'can-do' mentality amongst the crew and merely defeats any goodwill or positive feeling somebody would have had before starting work.
Instead there needs to be an ever changing supply of wisdom and mind expanding education there available for people to learn and develop their mind and themselves. Have some quotes from famous motivators and leaders on the wall, or even staff contributions of anecdotes from the work place. Change the content so that it stays interesting. Have a small library of books and magazines which celebrate success, wealth and personal development.

This is a good area to declare the success of your employee of the month or anecdotes about which staff member went the extra mile for a customer.
It is important for this area to be kept in a similar fashion, standard and decoration to the front of house or customer areas too. It is no good staff walking from a highly polished expensive looking work area then relaxing on a break in a dirty tattered cold room which to them merely states subconsciously that the customer is valued higher and differently to the staff......not good.
