Throw the bad apples out
One of the best ways to keep your employees motivated is to show that you recognize the difference between those who are working hard and those that are not. Holding people accountable in a fair way keeps everyone cognizant of what is and what is not acceptable. Disgruntled and disengaged people can put a tamper on the enthusiasm and creativity that your team needs to improve performance
Communicate effectively
Having open communication and sharing information to your team can go a long way on eliminating fears from the workplace. When your employees get a clear direction they are more equipped to work effectively. If you are indecisive, your employee is unlikely to work hard on something that may be for naught.
Provide recognition
There is a general thought among employers that more money equals more recognition. While, compensation is crucial to an employee’s well-being, equally as important is fulfilling their desire for recognition of their achievements. Sometimes money isn’t the solution, but your appreciation is! Motivating your employees by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses instills loyalty to you and your company. That emotional investment that your recognition gives will provide them the enthusiasm to work hard even when faced with a daunting task.
Be inspiring: have a vision
Sometimes, being a strong leader means that you have to bring that strength to your organization. When your staff understands what you and your businesses motivating factor is, it makes them feel part of a team. There is a strong trend of people that are voluntarily taking positions with less pay, so that they can work in an inspiring work environment.
I hope all of these tips will be helpful in motivating your staff-
