Staff Morale is a reflection of your staff’s happiness with their job working in your theme park. Morale is calculated at the end of each day and is affected by each staff member’s pay and breaks.
Staff morale can be:
- Very Happy
- Happy
- Content
- Unhappy
- Miserable
Working for more than 4 hours without a break will result in a reduction in Morale, as will giving them the Low pay tier. This negative impact will escalate if the situation lasts for several days and if a Staff Member is Miserable for 2 days in a row, then they will quit their job.
Morale also impacts the speed at which your staff members move and work in your park, with unhappy or miserable staff members being slower and happy or very happy staff members being faster.
You can view Staff Morale by inspecting a staff member or by opening the Staff sub-menu of the Park Management menu. Staff Morale will also be reflected in the way your staff behave, with happy staff visibly enjoying their time and unhappy staff appearing clearly morose.
How-To Keep Staff Happy
Improving your Staff Morale and keeping them happy is easy – if you have the cash to afford it:
- Increase the unhappy staff members’ pay to the High tier.
- Add breaks to the unhappy staff members’ schedule so they never work for more than 4 hours straight.
- Over time their morale will improve.
If you can’t afford to always do this for all staff, consider rotating your staff benefits between different employees. This will require additional management, but will reduce the chances of any staff quitting.
