Motivation
The energy and commitment with which an individual or group performs a task or role effects an organisation. We understand that motivated employees work harder and, if they work efficiently, they can become more productive and reduce costs.
Motivated employees deliver quality, as they care about what they are doing, are less resistant to change, more ready to learn and require less supervision. They are less likely to be involved in conflict or be absent from work, but creating a work environment to motivate our employees is a challenge as motivation is influenced not only by environment but has biological, intellectual, social and emotional factors.
Things that encourage motivation include:
Actions that empower employees to help them feel in control of their work environment, able to make decisions and be responsible in their job.
Regular communication
Respect for employees
Recognition of work and achievements
Feedback and coaching from managers
Organisational benefits
We all have different needs. One individual may be highly money motivated another may find that job satisfaction or creative opportunities are more powerful factor. The key is to provide a range of incentives that will appeal to different personalities.
Our experience and expertise can help you find out what makes your employees tick and what they want so we can develop a way for you to give it to them or earn it
