Employee Motivation Strategies

by Lee Lesser

 
Your employees are naturally motivated. As a leader all you need to do is to utilize their natural ability, which you can do without spending a dime. That's right! No money. In fact, money can actually decrease an employee's motivation and performance. The first step in utilizing your employees' natural abilities is to eliminate your organization's negative practices that zap away their natural motivation. The second step you can take is to develop true motivators which can spark all your employees into being motivated. By decreasing negative zapping demotivators and by adding true motivators, you will tap into your employees' natural motivation. Your employees' natural motivation relies on the fact that all people have natural human desires for affiliation, achievement, and for control and power over their work. In addition, they have desires for ownership, competence, recognition, and meaning in their work.

By eliminating demotivators and adding in no cost motivators you will be tapping into your employees natural human desires to perform at their maximum level of motivation and productivity.

Goals:
To understand & discuss 10 motivational zapping organizational behaviors
To understand & discuss 10 true motivators
To understand & discuss 5 motivation myths
To understand & discuss 8 natural human desires
To develop an organizational motivation action plan

Expected Outcomes:
Attendees will develop heightened awareness of employee motivation and strategies to turn up the volume. At the conclusion of the seminar each student will develop an individualized action plan to eliminate any motivational zappers and create true motivators in their organization.
