10 Unconventional Ways to Motivate Employees: What Really Works
13.12.2024 20:15
The labor market is currently experiencing a motivational crisis.
There is no single value system for young employees.
Motivation like: "You must", "Your homeland is looking at you" and something similar no longer inspires feats for the sake of the company. Moreover, it can instill in a young specialist the desire to run, the further, the better.
Money is also not able to effectively raise the incentive. A modern person is looking for comfort in work, adequate relationships in the team, as well as the opportunity for self-realization and personal growth.
10 ways to improve work efficiency and get out of a motivational crisis.
“Kind Word” Tactic
Mistakes and oversights accompany everyone, regardless of experience. The human factor cannot be eliminated, but its perception can be changed. Instead of a barrage of criticism and censure, analyze the identified errors and then correct them.
Letters to parents
Often parents and relatives help to get a job in the organization where they work themselves. Therefore, using the "game on family ties" you can inspire no worse than the previous point.
A short note describing the young specialist's successes will help to properly adjust his/her future efficiency. However, it should not be overused.
For success
Continuing with the family theme, pay attention to the children of employees. In particular, to students. Upon successful completion of the school year, single out the child with an award corresponding to his age. A nuance: there should be more "excellent" grades.
Children nearby
It wouldn't hurt to help mothers, both young and single. A room with a visiting teacher for their children wouldn't hurt. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to hire a nanny or take their children to their grandmother.
Discounts and privileges
No union – no problem. Get your employees a membership to a fitness center, gym or swimming pool. Even individual discounts at perfume shops are hard to resist.
Flexible schedule
Taking children to kindergarten or primary school and not being late for work is a feat that not everyone can boast of. Allow employees to determine a convenient time to do work, if possible.
Paid time off
Being entitled to seven paid days off throughout the year, rather than all at once, is a great way to provide some breathing room in a busy schedule.
The company will not lose, and for the employee it is a good incentive. Allow these days off to be used at the employee's discretion: a day before vacation, urgent matters, or just to be lazy.
Place to sleep
The fact is that the periodic system was discovered during the afternoon nap. 20-30 minutes of sleep during the lunch break will reboot the brain overloaded before lunch. An organized rest area will bring comfort and increase efficiency in completing work tasks.
Medical insurance
Not every company can boast of additional medical insurance. For an employee, this is a kind of manifestation of care from the manager.
Short Fridays
On Friday afternoons, few people think about work. If all the difficult work is done during the week, then show respect for the work of your subordinates - reduce working hours by one or even two hours. Or devote the remaining time to the self-development of employees.
