Do you motivate employees enough? As a business owner or human
resource manager, part of your job is to ensure employees are doing
their job. Sometimes, they fail to do their job because they lack skills
or they simply do not want to work. Yet, studies indicate that it is
far more likely that individuals will stop doing their job properly due
to a lack of recognition than because they are lazy or unwilling to
work. That means your business could be losing key productivity levels
and even the best employee talent.
How to Motivate Your Team
The question is, then, how do you motivate employees? To do so, you need to provide for the employee's needs. There are several things you can do now to make a big difference in those key productivity levels and employee talent needs.
#1 - Set the Standard and Stick with It
A common problem is that there is no standard in place. Do you have rules? Do you have an employee guidebook? Do your managers following it? As the human resource manager, setting the rules is good for everyone. Doing so will encourage employees to meet their goals and to know where they stand.
#2 - Talk about the Good
It is also important for you to notice what your employees are doing. If you do 100 pieces of work today, for example, and you break records, hit all key productivity levels, and feel good about yourself, what is going to make you do the same thing the next day? It is knowing that the employer or the human resource manager is there to say thank you and to pat you on the back. In other words, recognize the good that people do so they keep doing it.
#3 - Keep an Equal Page
It is often the case that a mother will spend a lot of time dealing with the child that cries the most, gets into fights at school, or doesn't do his or her homework. The same happens in a work environment. The employer or human resource manager spends a lot of time with that one employee that is not doing a good job and the good employee talent is ignored. That cause a drop in motivation and leaves your best employee talent looking for a new job.
It may seem challenging, but by following these tips you can put in place a process that helps you to build strong employee bonds. You can motivate employees.
