• Employee motivation is key to seeing success in
  your business and key in making sure that tasks
  are being performed correctly.
• How can you help to keep your employees
  motivated? Is there a big secret way to do it?
  Are there steps to take to help them maintain
  motivation?
• You can motivate your staff in a whole host of
  different ways and you dont have to be the Mr.
  Motivator to know ow to do it. Its all dependent
  on the individual staff members, what makes them
  tick? What do they not enjoy about their job?

1. Incentives

• This motivation tool is the oldest in the book
  and for good reason. Its fact that people work
  harder when they know that theyre working
  towards something. You dont have to offer
  anything massive like a flat screen TV, just
  something that shows that you appreciate their
  hard work. Why not set targets and if a team or
  staff member meets those targets give them an
  extra days holiday, buy them lunch or a gift. If
  they know theyre going to get something out of
  their job, theyll work for it.

2. Lead By Example

• Your employees look to you for a guidance,
  inspiration and motivation. If you arent
  motivated to work or are constantly complaining
  about the fact that you have to come in, itll
  soon rub off on your staff members. Regardless of
  how rubbish you feel about coming into work, in
  front of your staff you should portray the
  attitude that you want to see from them. Why
  should they be motivated to work if you arent?

3. Recognition

• This tip isnt too dissimilar from incentives,
  but there is a slight difference. If someone has
  worked hard one week, done a great job of
  something, really helped you out, then thank
  them. Recognise the fact that theyre a valuable
  member of the team. You dont have to shower them
  with gifts, just let them know whether in e-mail
  or face to face. If they know theyre being
  recognized for their hard work, theyll keep it
  up.

4. Get Everyone Involved

• One of the biggest killers of motivation is
  feeling undervalued and its common in large
  corporations. To keep this at bay ensure that all
  of your staff members in the loop. Invite them to
  important meetings, listen to their opinions,
  take action on their opinions. If they feel that
  theyre adding to the company and helping improve
  it theyre going to feel valued as a person.
