Employee Motivation

It is very easy for an organization to talk for hours on Employee Motivation. But none of them realize what actually takes to motivate an employee & get the best out of him/her. When recruitment takes place in an organization, it’s not about hiring & paying. But it is to ensure that a new member is given the freedom to think out of the box, cultivate into a strong crew member who can steer the Titanic with conviction independently and row it past the iceberg. The employee is to be ensured an atmosphere when he gets an exposure to the best in the industry and in future contributes greatly to the growth of the organization. In this way he is directed to map his career growth easily.

When an employee grows to become an important entity in the organization – Delivers more than expected, becomes accessible 24 x 7 with mobile connections & laptops and submerges him/her selves in work; then begins the role of an employer. More & more organizations are now taking care of employee welfare like free meals, cab services, official spa, day-outs, date allowances, incentives and more. But other motivational factors like praise or encouragement seems to have evaporated and have been replaced by high perks, cash bonuses & hikes.

First & the foremost of these is the atmosphere. The best can culminate only if the surrounding is fun and peers are nice to work with. The output is automatically the best. The team lead has to be the best friend around for his team members, with whom; they can shares issues, grievances and success to. A leader; someone who can lead & motivate from the top. The motivations should pour down right from the top management in case of some big deal signed or project accomplished. Handing over of new assignments and other responsibilities also brings out the confidence they would work with in future and in turn makes an individual more responsible. Townhalls to be arranged religiously to listen out to the employees. Inspirational and motivational day-outs. Spend a day in the week talking to each employee individually. This brings in a sense of belongingness, helps knowing them better, knowing their interests, their goals and help them achieve those. This will only help to build a better organization.
