A month ago, al-Jazeera's coverage of the kidnap of a Filipino truck driver rattled Philippine morale so much, President Gloria Arroyo was forced to pull her country's troops out of Iraq.
Senior leadership found that a key driver for boosting morale revolved around initiatives showing the company's genuine care for remaining employees.
Morale among drivers can suffer because they feel the public does not appreciate the safety and efficiency of the bus system, Mr. Martin said.
They have raised the morale of drivers by helping them keep their taxis full and earn a better living, and have reduced passengers' stress by making it easier for them to find a cab nearby.
It's a cliché of foreign correspondence to quote your taxi-driver as a proxy for morale on the ground, but taxi-drivers' complaints have been part of the story of this Olympics, and anyway my taxi driver in London had something significant to report, which is that I was the first fare he'd had all week who was involved in any way with the Olympics.

An officer approached the car and asked Fuentes-Morales for her driver's license.
Borcherding and Samelson ([1980]) found that rework was one of the three most significant drivers to poor productivity and decreased morale, oftentimes as a result of poor engineering information design.
A good driver will act as babysitter, bodyguard, confidante, morale-booster and, most importantly, an encyclopedia of the best pubs, clubs and truckers' cafes across the continent; a bad driver will become nothing but a constant source of irritation.
High staff morale is thus implicated as both an outcome and a driver of partnership working, thereby highlighting a possible interdependency between meaningful user-involved care planning and high-quality service user staff communication.
