Recommendations on the Use of Motivation
By Author on Oct 6, 2010 in Human Resources
Let’s look at some advice or recommendations regarding the use of motivation in our employees.
According to motivate workers
When motivate a worker, we must realize that people are different, and a technique or way of motivating than success in a particular worker does not necessarily mean it will be successful in another.
So before deciding on which method to use to motivate, we get to know each of our employees, to decipher what their needs, motivations, preferences, objectives or personal goals and, on that basis, determine the methods or most appropriate forms of motivation to use.
Do not forget the money
The most common way to motivate workers remains the money; we must always be taken into consideration as a good source of motivation.
We have to consider money as a motivation, not only in determining the compensation to pay (which should be as fair as possible, according to their knowledge, skills, and performance), but also can e.g. , create contests where rewards are monetary, reward workers who have had better performance, encourage the promotions, etc..
Be fair
When determining a worker’s compensation, we must ensure internal equity, i.e. ensuring that there is no marked difference between the salaries or wages of a worker with those of their peers.
And, at the same time, also seek external equity, i.e. ensuring that there is no marked difference between the salaries or wages of our workers compared with workers from the competition.
Similarly, upon recognizing their performance, achievements or objectives achieved, we must also be equitable and fair to acknowledge or reward, according to the performance or results.
A worker usually compare their inputs and outputs of their work with other workers, and if you think there is a reward inequitable, it can generate discontent, dissatisfaction, lower production, and can even choose to leave the company.
Motivated to achieve good customer service
Today, due to the high number of competitors, and equal in quality and prices of products, the key to success lies in providing excellent service and customer care.
And the best way to achieve this is by having our employees motivated.
A motivated and satisfied workers not only get higher output or productivity at work, but also contagious motivation and satisfaction to customers, offering a good service or care on their own initiative.
No satisfied customers without satisfied employees.
Recognize or reward according to performance
A good motivation strategy is to recognize, praise or reward good performance, achievements or goals achieved.
The behavior of people is usually based on the consequences it generates, so that by recognizing the good performance or results, reinforce this behavior at work, causing them to repeat.
And on the other hand, the bad performance should also forward them to note, we let you know the worker’s okay to make mistakes, but as long as they learn from them.
