AP Now Episode 14: Mary Schaeffer on Fun Ways to Improve Morale—without Spending a Fortune

In this episode, Mary Schaeffer, founder of AP Now and host of this podcast, addresses a lighter topic in honor of Independence Day in the US, the day when this episode was released. In it she addresses the issue of improving employee morale. The tactics discussed would work not only in accounts payable departments and other areas of the accounting and finance functions but throughout the company.

What’s more, she has decided to narrow the topic to discuss only those tactics that either cost absolutely nothing or very little. Thus, listeners don’t have to wait until they have budget allocations to use these tactics, they can be implemented immediately. All this is required is a little bit of time and effort. Of course, there are other strategies that will work, if there are funds. So, take a few minutes, grab a cup of coffee and listen to this short, but information-packed episode and figure out which of these strategies would resonate the most with your staff.

And for those listening who are not yet in a management role, find a tactic or two you like and suggest them to your manager. This way, all your peers can benefit. Improving morale can be quite easy and fun … so don’t wait another minute.
