Ideas for Motivating Your Employees (Part 2)

Ideas for Motivating Your Employees (Part 2)

A good job is hard to find, but every entrepreneur knows a good employee is even harder to keep. As an entrepreneur, one must ensure his or her company is staffed with people who look forward to coming to work every day for more than a paycheck.
Encourage learning new skills.
Times are changing. Ensuring that every willing employee has the opportunity to learn a new skill or brush up on an old skill will benefit everyone involved.

Foster creativity.
A creative environment is a thriving one. Encourage creativity and watch your business flourish as thinking outside of the box becomes the norm.

Give credit where credit is due.

Although employees come to work to complete their appointed tasks, it’s still an accomplishment if they do it well. Recognize their hard work by shouting them out to the entire company.

Create a career path.

Having an idea of what lies ahead is the ultimate motivation. Employees who have a path set before them that may lead to promotion can work towards a goal. This will lead to increased commitment to their current employer.

Start a tradition.

Our annual Thanksgiving potluck is so greatly anticipated that some employees hold off on vacation to participate and attend the event with their work family. Start a tradition and keep it going.

Get personal.
This one is tricky because there is a fine line that cannot be crossed. However, showing concern and interest in the lives of each employee goes a long way.

Keep an open mind.

Anything new is worth exploration and consideration.

Encourage laughter.
Laughter is contagious, so help spread the joy.

Embrace change.
Fighting change is harder than embracing change. I have practiced this more recently in regards to social media and living in the digital age. I also encourage my employees to do the same.

Stir the pot.
It’s not easy to keep things interesting every single day. Every now and then, stirring the pot can help to liven things up. Employees were so elated at the opportunity to start their summer weekends a day early that productivity has risen ever since.

Recognize strengths.
Bringing out the best in people is a talent every entrepreneur should strive to master.

Be available.
It’s easy to get sucked into a schedule, but it’s just as easy to take a few minutes out of each day to talk to an employee who may not be on your calendar.

Manage everyone individually.

Everyone is different, but some are so different that they may require a personalized management style. Knowing your employees on an individual basis is the only way to know how to manage them effectively.

Encourage ownership.

The success of a business lies in ownership. When employees feel invested in a company, productivity increases.

Promote unity.
As much as each employee needs to be able to stand on his own two feet, he must also be able to work in a team. Promoting unity will help achieve individual and team goals. Have patience.

Entrepreneurs tend only to be interested in results.
Patience will prevent you from expecting too much too soon and will allow employees to complete tasks properly.

Be flexible.
Things don’t always happen as planned; when employees see that you are open to going with the flow every once in a while, tensions ease up and productivity remains constant. Offer incentives.

Give them a reason to come to work – every day.
Showing up to work five days a week, ready to exceed expectations, requires a level of loyalty that can only be achieved if morale is high.
