All motivation is internal. The manager's task is to combine his external motivation with the internal motivation of the staff.
There are many approaches to this.
Top ten methods of employee motivation:
- verbal praise;
- flexible work schedule;
- addressing each employee by name;
- commemorative distinction;
- personal meetings between the manager and employees;
- appropriate salary level;
- career advancement;
- extraordinary day off.
In today's world, managers often use unusual motivation. For example, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk writes inspirational letters to employees, expressing his gratitude for their productive work.
In the CIS countries, they do not believe in the unusual style of employee motivation. But they are the most successful. According to numerous surveys, they prefer to have the following in a company:
- free coffee;
- relaxation rooms;
- kitchens for employees;
- chairs with massage effect;
- TV viewing rooms;
- a hall with exercise equipment.
In practice, such techniques give maximum effect.
Many real examples prove the power of non-material motivation. Here are just a few of the most striking ones.
In Japan, Japanese incentives: reduced opening hours on sale days.
The Walt Disney Company has come up with an innovation - creative job titles that raise the status of the staff.
In Russia, the administrator was rephrased as "cafe owner".
"Wim-Bill-Dann" - a world-famous company has come up with a way to convince employees to rest. They recommend a "bonus" to their employees. The employee takes the vacation due to him according to the Labor Code and provides evidence that he was not at home. Basically, such a bonus is received by management vacancies and those with a flexible schedule. Many work without days off and vacations. This has a negative impact on health.
It is impossible to force many employees to rest.
Many stores provide incentives to their staff for not taking sick leave. Those who did not take sick leave for two years received a reward.
At the core of any motivation is corporate spirit and positive emotions. All this turns into a powerful engine for the company's development.
