Motivating Employees
Motivation is about the way a business can encourage staff to give their best. Motivated staff care about the success of the business and work better.
Every employee makes a contribution towards the organisation achieving its objectives, through the jobs that they do and how well they do them.
It is important therefore that management understands what motivates their workforce so that they can use that motivation to increase productivity.
Why Motivate Employees?
- Motivated employees work harder, leading to more output – they are more productive.
- Motivated employees care about the quality of their work, so they will take their time and produce better products
- Motivated employees are more less likely to leave their job as they are happier, less likely to take sick days – this reduces staff turnover and absenteeism.
