Increasing and maintaining employee motivation; 4 ways to succeed
Being successful at increasing and maintaining employee motivation is an art that many employers wish to master, in all activity sectors, including the industrial sector. Although there is no magical recipe, we can assure you of one thing: there’s no mystery in knowing how to motivate your employees.
Below we will look at four ways to succeed.
Draft a specific framework and objectives
Whether it involves their work environment or professional situation, people need to feel that they are accomplishing their assigned task correctly. So it is important to properly define the mandate for your employee and set clear objectives.
Clearly explain what you expect from your employees and do not hesitate to meet with them in the event their responsibilities need to be modified. This is essential if you want them to fully develop within your organization.
Provide training opportunities
Nowadays, it is common for individuals to leave an employer to work for another during the course of their career. Of course, this is not the best scenario for you to invest in training your staff starting from Day one. However, if you want to ensure they stay with you, offer them skills training with your assistance.
Your employees must feel that they can progress and grow professionally. This can be by participating in training programs, working towards certifications, or assisting at conferences. There are many ways to achieve this goal.
Maintain regular communications with your employees
As the employer, you must ensure that relevant information gets circulated within your firm. Whether it is your supervisors, administrative staff, production teams or sales representatives, all must be apprised of the important decisions being made by management.
You can achieve this through various means:
- Email newsletters
- Memos
- In-house publications
- Intranet
- Weekly team meetings
Ideally, we advise you to opt for a wise choice of several of the above techniques. And don’t forget to adopt a positive, forthright and honest tone. This will help to better mobilize your employees.
Schedule regular personalized follow-ups
If you want to help people who work for you stay motivated at work, don’t forget that everyone is different. Thus, you must remember that everyone has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, and that a personalized follow-up is always a good idea.
To avoid having any issues develop, we advise you to conduct these follow-ups on a regular basis. What’s more, if you are not satisfied, don’t hesitate to mention it in a clear, honest and constructive manner.
For example, if you are not satisfied with an employee’s level of productivity, you can share a few tips to help them better organize their work to increase their productivity. Regardless of the situation, always be sincere, and in this way you will earn their trust.
