MOTIVATION AT WORK

How to galvanize your staff

In a difficult economic context, most managers refuse to lead without thinking about aspects related to the motivation of their employees. Aware of the fact that an employee who is motivated at work exhibits a behavior and a very beneficial activity for the company, business leaders are called upon to find new means to attract, mobilize and keep their staff. As Richard Branson puts it, "Nothing is more fundamental to the success or failure of a business than the motivation of its employees."

Indeed, employee motivation is a determining factor in increasing employee productivity. It is a key element of business success. However, numerous surveys have shown that the malaise, stress, lack of recognition, inappropriate working conditions, uninteresting objectives or even the lack of communication experienced by certain employees within companies, can have a strong negative influence on their level of motivation. All the more so since each person has their own motivation system. But how to prevent the company from becoming a framework of demotivation? On this question, research in Human Resources is edifying in more than one way. A priori, it is the manager's responsibility to make his business viable. He must adapt his language, modify his management style if necessary, but also improve his communication. It can therefore rely on the main sources of motivation at work. Especially :
