Motivating Employees
Managers who understand what motivates their staff unlock the human potential within their teams. To be effective, managers need to understand what motivates individual employees in regards to the roles they are expected to perform. Of all the responsibilities a leader has, motivating their staff is one of the most complex as it requires an in-depth understanding of what drives individual staff members.
Work becomes a more important and enjoyable part of life when employees find satisfaction in their jobs. Greater productivity, increased employee morale and staff retention is the natural consequence.
For example, research from White Water Strategies has revealed that some staff would prefer to hear their boss say ‘thank you’ or ‘well done’ than receive a moderate pay rise. In some cases a simple ‘Thank you’ had the same motivational impact as a 1% pay increase. The question is “which of your staff are motivated in this way and how do you find out?”
