There are a number of reasons why your team members might lack the motivation they need in order to do their best work each day—they could be feeling unappreciated, bored with their responsibilities, or unhappy with the benefits and flexibility offered to them.
Make a game out of work, and provide rewards when goals and achievements are met. This will increase employee engagement, which is a key indicator of workplace satisfaction and motivation.You’re not the only one with ideas. Encourage, support, and sometimes even implement the new ideas they have. Whether it has to do with a new window display or trying a new technology for employee scheduling, both the employee and the business can get a lot from simply beta testing a new idea.
Have big goals, project goals, department goals, personal goals–whatever it takes. But make sure you have smaller goals that are attainable, otherwise they’ll feel failure and disillusion at never reaching goals.
