Motivating Your Employees

When you think about it, the success of any facet of your business can almost always be traced back to motivated employees. From productivity and profitability to recruiting and retention, hardworking and happy employees lead to triumph.

Motivating people is far from an exact science. There's no secret formula, no set calculation, no work sheet to fill out. In fact, motivation can be as individual as the employees who work for you. One employee may be motivated only by money. Another may appreciate personal recognition for a job well done. Still another may work harder if she has equity in the business.

But you can boil down employee motivation to one basic ideal -- finding out what your employees want and finding a way to give it to them or to enable them to earn it.

Look beyond sheer dollars and cents to motivate employees to perform their best and stay on the job. Intangible benefits, such as good working conditions and flexible hours, can affect your employees’ attitudes and help motivate them to put forth extra time and effort.

Many people also strive to improve themselves -- to learn, do more, and experience personal growth. If you can tap into these basic emotional needs and help satisfy them, your employees are likely to put more energy and thought into the job.

Something as simple as telling an employee that he or she is doing a good job can motivate peak performance -- and may even make more clear to you ways you can refine and expand current work duties.

Many employees value the chance to expand their skills and take on more responsibility. You can take the time to teach them yourself, or send them to a workshop or seminar. Back at work, your employees will be motivated to try new skills -- and your business will bear the benefits.
