Here we look at employee motivation using several different popular and proven tactics
There are many things that aid in the success of your business: good marketing, customer service, a strong internet presence and good hard work just to name a few. One often forgotten factor in the success of businesses large and small is the employees. It is easy to get caught up in the stresses of the day and forget that without them you would be one heck of a lot more stressed. This is especially true in difficult economic times but it should not be. Employee motivation can be an important part of the success of your business and here I would like to introduce three time tested ways of insuring your employees know their service is appreciated and valued.
Tell them when they have done a good job: This is easy and free. By simply remembering from time to time to tell your staff how much they mean to you and your business you will see how much they appreciate it. Praise is a tremendous motivator to work hard toward a common goal.
Reward with promotional gifts: Business gifts have been used for many years to motivate employees. Promotional gifts can be used to motivate staff to out perform other employees or simply to provide an incentive to do a great job as a team. Motivational gifts such as promotional pens do not need to be terribly expensive. Brand name gift pens or embroidered jackets can be purchased in small quantities. People like to wear the logo of the places they spend a lot of time so be sure to personalize the gifts with your logo. Such gifts will not only be valued by your employees, they will promote your company.
Do it with gift vouchers: Another excellent motivator can easily be purchased from local high street shops and restaurants. Gift vouchers are an excellent thank you gift that your employees will love. By doing so, you could be helping the businesses in your local community which depending on your business may help you as well.
The fact of the matter is that people love praise and they love free stuff. Praise for a job well done is an excellent motivator but sometimes it is nice to offer a little something more. It is the thought that counts and your appreciation will definitely keep you employees motivated to continue doing well for you. This could also inspire other employees to out perform the person who got the praise the last time and that cannot be a bad thing.
