Now-a-days, organisations are faced with a widening split between the actual state
of an individual and the desired state by the organization. Effective motivation,
which is the driving force that initiates direct behavior, is the missing element in the
puzzle. After all, the human nature is complex and understanding and appreciation
of work by the management team is a growing prerequisite to building effective
employee motivation and passion for excellence.
Workplace dynamics has undergone substantial change over the last decade;
Nurturing and building committed employees who treat their work with passion and
dedication, rather than a routine job has been on the top of the key managerial
challenges. The ancient practice of a carrot-and-stick incentive is no longer relevant
today.
In contrast to popular belief that money is one of the key motivating factors in
driving employee performance, retention and attraction, it is the non-monetary
elements like advancement in career, job security, scope of work undertaken and a
sense of pride in the company that act as an impetus in building employee
commitment and performance.
Few of the numerous key strategies that can be implemented in the organisation
may include, positive reinforcement of employees, treating employees with
consideration, ensuring employee needs are met, setting achievable work related
goals, restructuring jobs to maximise utilisation, creating a reward system on job
performance etc. After all, money may get the organisation the best people through
the front door, but lack of motivation will drive them away from the back!
