Motivation & Your Organization

Motivation is defined as the desire to act and move towards a goal (Psychology Today). Motivated individuals are driven to learn and repeat behaviors that are aligned with achieving their goals. When a strategy is put into place to both communicate and recognize desired behaviors and goal achievement, your organization gains a more motivated workforce – driven to succeed personally and as a team.

To achieve maximum success, every person on your team must be motivated and driven to succeed. Learning what motivates your team is critical, then educating managers on how to inspire, challenge, and positively reinforce employees through these motivators. How do you learn what motivates your team and how do you develop a strategy that will encourage them to perform well again and again?

Is Employee Connection Being Prioritized

Is Employee Connection Being Prioritized?

Research finds that employees who receive consistent connection and recognition are more engaged, motivated, and likely to remain with your organization.

Yet, in many organizations, employees find themselves falling under the radar – experiencing inconsistency in employee treatment or even feeling ignored. Because of these experiences, there could be a misconception that their managers are incapable, biased, or disinterested.

But why is this really happening?

The reality is that managers are busy and don’t prioritize the time needed to create a consistent employee connection and provide their teams with acknowledgement and validation through recognition. These are core leadership tasks that managers must be encouraged to schedule time for, while juggling many other high-level responsibilities.

Are recognition and communication being identified as manager priorities within your organization?
