Giving Attention to Employee Motivation Is Important
By Sherri Yeary
Finding ways to increase employee motivation is vital for a business' success and it needs to be considered if it is lacking. When the morale is low among the workplace the employees will not be as productive, motivated or creative. Staying in business is what every owner wants so keeping employees happy should be their focus.
When improving the level of efficiency the employee's motivation will increase. An employee needs more than the qualifications and skills to be efficient at work; if they are not happy they won't do as well. The ability and willingness of an employee to do a job is a gap and needs to be filled.
If you focus on motivating your workers not only will you cut your expenses but the efficiency and productivity will excel. This can actually be seen within your company's bottom line, and the money you will save will more than pay for the extra efforts.
Employees need to be motivated positively and the organization's goals will be achieved. Your employees will improve their performance if they feel needed and are goal oriented. If upper management wants to employee motivation they too need to be motivated themselves. For employees to be more productive the boss and other management need to show their productivity being active in all levels of their business.
The employee morale can be low when there is pressure at work, meeting deadlines and more; staying positive can be difficult. The employees need to have a motivational plan made by the owner. Positive gestures such as bonuses, incentives and promotions are all examples of motivational tactics. Some managers have also discussed ideas such as giving disincentives.
An employee should be praised on a constant basis; a long period need not go by without motivation. Once a month something should be done, something simple like purchasing lunch for employees. It can be costly to purchase lunch for everyone in large companies so an employee of the month is another option. The employee will get more done at their job when there are awards given for such work!
Without employees a company will go out of business; happy employees will only profit a company because they will perform better in their jobs. An employee will not perform to the best of their ability if they are not appreciated or noticed. When a company decides to augment employee motivation and keep employees happy, it will surely strive.

Teamship – The Value of Different Skills
By Warren Dent
"If you are not the lead dog the view never changes"
I cringe a little whenever I hear managers use this saying. Sometimes it is to justify their own aggressive behavior, other times to explain why a subordinate won't move on unless they change their behavior..
The actual reference is to the Iditarod – that famous race across part of Alaska pitting man and dog against the elements. The saying can be interpreted as 'be a leader or forever be led' or 'if you aren't a leader you aren't going anywhere'. In either case the connotation is that non-leaders aren't as important or as valuable as leaders.
