Employee Motivation
Description
Motivation is becoming ever more important in the workplace as time goes on, and everyone agrees that a motivated workforce is far more likely to be a successful workforce. The happier and more professional an employee is, the better the results they will deliver for you. Of course, every employer wants to make sure that they have a workforce who will do their best, but this does not simply mean making the job easy for their employees. In fact, part of the problem of motivation is that where the job is too easy, employees become complacent.
Therefore, there is a challenge for all employers and management in delivering the right balance between a confident, motivated workforce and a workforce that is driven to attain goals. It can be described as a mix between the pleasure of a comfortable working environment and the fear of failure, although, in honesty, it is more complicated than that equation suggests. Regardless of how it is characterized, it is important to get the right balance in order to ensure that you have a motivated workforce. This manual is designed to show participants the way to get the best out of a confident, motivated group of employees and to show them how to motivate that group.
