Low Morale
Low motivation among employees can spread like wildfire in a company. Enthusiasm can spread from worker to worker in the same way as low motivation. Managers and supervisors who are consistently enthusiastic can motivate workers as well. Low morale can result in a hostile work environment with constant complaining. In a business that is customer service-driven, a work environment with low morale could result in lower sales and a poor customer experience.

Low Productivity
Poor motivation can result in low productivity from employees. When a worker has the skills and resources to succeed on the job but is not performing at his best, one cause could be low motivation. Motivated employees have a desire to get the job done to the best of their abilities. An unmotivated employee lacks the drive and commitment to work at his highest capabilities. The manager or supervisor must investigate the cause of a worker's failure to perform.

High Turnover
Companies experiencing low morale and motivation among employees sometimes experience a higher turnover rate. In an environment of low motivation and morale, employees sometimes seek a better position in an organization that values their services and work. A high employee turnover rate results in increased costs to the company. Companies must pay to recruit, hire and train new workers frequently in a department or organization with low morale and motivation. Programs and incentives to improve motivation can increase job satisfaction among workers.

Quality Reduction
Employees with no motivation often make more mistakes on the job than those with a high morale and motivation. Low motivation can lead to an attitude of disinterest or a lack of caring about the quality of the work the employee performs. Companies consequently suffer significant costs from employee mistakes and defects in quality.
