Usually companies come up with very good incentives, recreational activities and the list goes on. My case is that they should more concentrate on the fact that every individual is different and thus his priorities, desires, inspirations are different. Something that might motivate one might not do the same for the other.
To overcome this issue what we need is a strong analysis. Divide the employees into major groups and then we can come up with plans to motivate them all.
The objective of any organization is to maximize the benefit from every employee. The organization will reach a different high if all the employees are self motivated and know what they have to do and are all on the same page when it comes to the company interest. But unfortunately this is not the reality. We are living in times where due to one reason or the other there is job dissatisfaction. Now how we can tackle this is up to us.
A satisfied employee is a self motivated employee. Therefore, reaching to everyone on their personal level is required.
I am a part of the largest Cellular Operator in Pakistan. And through my observations I have classified all the individuals into three different groups.
1)Top performers.
2)Average performers.
3)Poor performers.
We need to analyze what are the characteristics of every group of group and how we could motivate every group in order to maximize output from them.
The segregation can be different but mostly and tactics of the management can differentiate but the task is the same. I hope this sort of approach will be helpful next time we come across employees with low level of job satisfaction.
Finally I would end this with the fact that mostly people think that money is the most motivating factor for all. Where as study, research says otherwise. The most motivating motivator is the nature of work ? If the work is interesting.?
All the people in management and leadership roles they need to come up with plans or methods to make the job bit more interesting if we want the employee to give his 100 % if not 150 %
