n Pay reward system reasonable

n Performance-based reward
n Task relevant decision making
n Less formalized communication structure
n Internal information system for coordination purposes
n Commitment obtained through a sense of ownership
n On-going employee training and development
n Workers conceive and implement ideas
n Maintaining high morale not as imperative
+This could help
