Importance of motivation in the workplace & how to keep employees motivated
Strategies to improve staff motivation
It’s normal for employees to face dips in motivation, but it becomes a problem when your colleagues are consistently disengaged. Here are three strategies to help achieve and keep motivation in the organization.
1. Include employees in goal setting
By promoting a culture where employees are encouraged to set their own goals based on the company purpose, they will feel involved, claim ownership and, to a higher degree, understand what’s expected of them.
2. Give employees a purpose
By having a clear sense of purpose for the organization and the employees as individuals, the company becomes aspirational beyond economic ambitions.
3. Recognize people’s work
By acknowledging your employees’ hard work, you allow them to build a sense of security in their value to the organization, motivating them to continue doing an outstanding job.
Motivation in your organisation is about making your employees feel recognized for their efforts and them having a meaningful job, which is not just about the paycheck. Celebrate your teams’ achievements, allow your employees to be a part of the bigger picture, and engage with them to increase staff motivation.
