Motivating the employees in a company is a direct factor which can affect and increase the productivity of the company. Motivating the employees in the company is also a big task/responsibility in the management side since it talks about handling your employees. Motivation is the process of persuading members of the organization to perform in a productive manner. To understand easily how I can motivate others, I will determine what are the things that motivate me:
[I will give as much as possible reasons or things that motivate me at work.]
Things that motivate me to works are:
- This is the most important for me, and I think this is also the case to others. –my compensation and benefits to work. Of course we are working to earn money so that we could pay our needs and responsibilities on our daily lives. Though there are some persons who don’t feel the same as I do about working and I admire them. [These are the person that we need in our world today.] The most evidence of this is that when so search a job on the net, you would always find the job title and the job description and lastly the estimated monthly salary income for that job. So Salary or compensation plays a big factor in motivating your employee. Or simply by raising their monthly income just a little bit gives them a sudden boost in their job performance. Of course not all company can afford to do this and it and it takes a lot of time to materialize this.
On the second thought, determining how to motivate others I find it very hard since satisfaction in work is defends on the person since we have different personality as we are all unique to each other so we have different needs and perception. But anyway...
- If feel motivated to work if I feel that I’m given a place or importance or I feel that I can make a difference in the work place or I can make an effect in the over-all result of my task that I was given. When your employees achieve a particular target, make sure that you celebrate their achievements. This will provide great motivation to them. They would feel that their efforts are appreciated.
- If feel also motivated if I know if I did something good or if I perform very good that I will receive a reward. Not that I’m expecting a cash reward or money but at least recognition will be fine and I think it’s not too much to ask... Isn’t it?!
- The work that I love doing. These are the works that I feel light doing it and it makes me feel good doing it.
- Doing the work that I have interest in learning it. The work that I will feel that I’m going to learn something new.
But in this times where there are a lot business and corporate layoffs, and the advent of outsourcing and steep disparities between executives' and frontline employees' salaries, it is no wonder rank-and-file workers increasingly question their loyalty to companies. Which means retaining and motivating employees is a challenge for the management.
But if we come to think of it, we are so fortunate that we have our respective job right now, that we have money to spend to support our daily needs. I mean; there are a lot of people in our country who doesn’t have a work/job right now or if there is... it’s not that compare to us. What I am trying to say that for having this job for me is a motivation already. Won’t you?! Think about that…
