If an entrepreneur is earning a profit but employee morale is declining, what should be addressed first?

Correct answer: Work environment, respect and communication

Employees are an important interest group because their motivation affects productivity, service quality and employee retention. Therefore, the entrepreneur should examine the work environment, ensure respectful treatment and encourage open communication. Machines, customers’ clothing and weather do not directly address the reason for falling morale. This reflects the business responsibility towards employees, even when the business is profitable.
