10 ways to motivate employees

Possessing an abundant human resource and ready to well complete each assigned task is always the expectation of business owners. But in every organization, in every field, there are still many individuals who work with lower quality than their true capacity.

Despite trying to persuade and create the best conditions to boost their productivity, many managers still fail. The reason is that in the first place, they did not eliminate all the following false thoughts in stimulating excitement in their subordinates.

For that money is everything. Of course, if paid well, employees will be willing to do anything for you. And if you spend money to buy expensive gifts to reward your new success, the recipient will be extremely happy. In general, subordinates always try to work hard because they pursue the idea that they will be rewarded with more money.

However, research shows that the high-remuneration euphoria is short-lived. Within six months, employees will completely forget the value of the gifts they were given by their superiors, and even weeks after receiving the gift, the impact of the superior's reward becomes blurred. and less effective.

Remember, it's the recognition and status of new employees that can actually increase performance. For example, for an excellent salesperson, receiving a bonus is no different from a commission shared by the superior, but a compliment from the superior and the applause from everyone around, including the co-workers. business and customers, will be completely different.

Praise should be given when employees work well and make efforts.

Therefore, give the best employees the opportunity to develop their careers (get more positions and responsibilities) or expand their careers (towards different responsibilities).

Ignore conflicts.

Many entrepreneurs are afraid to get involved in conflict. For the same reason, most bosses or administrators often choose to ignore or set aside instead of having to clarify in black and white.

Some other managers think that caring about subordinates' problems can prevent them from completing their own work, so it is best not to interfere. But if you stay silent like that and completely indifferent to the concerns of employees, not only will it not help them, but in the long run, it will create unpredictable troubles for the managers themselves.

The notion that there are types of employees who can't do their best for their work.

This is a very common mistake. The truth is that everyone can become a dedicated employee. An administrator can see someone playing a computer game or sending a personal email and can understand that the individual is not enthusiastic and responsible for the job.

But that way of thinking could be wrong. Sometimes the employee who is "having fun" is very active, but that enthusiasm is not directly directed to the work, so it does not create productivity for the company.

Instead of immediately thinking of looking for a replacement, the challenge for managers is to discover what factors will really stimulate that employee's work excitement and apply it to daily work. his.

There's no need to boost the morale of smart and talented employees. Quick-wittedness is an important trait in corporate culture. All bosses want quick-witted, smart people to work for them because they learn quickly, adapt well and create productivity for the organization. As a result, employers often make the mistake of thinking that it is not necessary to spend so much time taking care of such subordinates.

There are many talented individuals who cannot find the motivation to succeed in their career, so they are easily bored and desperate.

Unfortunately, intelligence and aggressiveness don't always go together.

There are many very bright and talented individuals who cannot find the motivation to succeed in their career, so they tend to get bored and despair easily. The result is neither profit nor productivity.

So what does a leader do? Let's create a space that allows and encourages all employees to become more active and enthusiastic at work.
