ASA Association Partner Federated Insurance is back with a new HR Question of the Month, this time tackling the topic of employee motivation.
I’ve noticed that around this time of the year, employees start to become less motivated and productive. I think at least part of it has to do with their spending a lot of time discussing nonwork items, such as the Super Bowl and “March Madness.” Aside from disciplining employees for wasting too much time talking about nonwork matters, what are positive solutions I can use to keep employees motivated?
There are a number of positive strategies employers can use to keep employees motivated. First, employers should help others see how their jobs and accomplishments make a difference and contribute to the company’s success. Employees who feel that they are making a positive difference will be more motivated to continue working hard and helping the company succeed.
