How to motivate employees?

[AbaraUzo]

Motivation of employees is not all about bonus.
Ways I trust employees are motivated are by providing conducive working environment, adequate mobility, materials, and logical tools, equipment coupled with standard ergonomics.
All these mentioned kill fatigue and enhance productivity.
Inculcate in them the consciousness of not working for salary, but to render services to humanity and for the betterment of the society and if this goes in a circle, everyone will become motivated.

Giving Money or food as an incentive to employees make them feel more excited to come to work if they know that there will be some food waiting for them. Here are a few food tricks that will motivate your employees:

In my opinion, in order to motive an employee is by giving them a good compensation that is equivalent for their position of the company. And specially aslo, they have a chance to level up their position through work evaluation.

employees are usually lazy at work because the little salary they receive , maybe a little threatening and giving bonus work if he works good will be a motive for him to get more salary

The best way to motivate employees is to make them feel that they are valued. Employers or people of authority should need to understand that employers are not machines. They have different personalities and each requires a different approach. Another motivator is to make them feel that you are always there for them when it counts; and that you are ready to support them. They will definitely do the same for the company once you have established this type of relationship with them.

Listen and appreciate new employee ideas
Everyone wants to be heard, not to mention your employees. Give your time to listen to new employee ideas.

This proves you are an authoritative and wise boss.

A good company provides an opportunity for employees to develop creativity through new employee ideas. Every opinion, thought or idea is the result of the thought.

So there is a process of thinking before that opinion or idea comes to your employee's head. Respect any opinions or ideas submitted by employees.

My future must be the responsibility of the human resources department.
Pension fund scheme must be enrolled.Allowances and vacations for recreation
must be allowed.Medical and accomodation perks should encourage any employee
while promotions and pay raise should be driven for to encourage long served
employees.Awards and motivational gifts be periodically given as a pat on the back.

Seriously I got the best answer cited from yahoo that I wanna share with you guys:

Good managers create a team of which they are more a member than a leader, if your subordinates are made to feel like participants in the team rather than just workers under a boss they will desire to work harder and help more.
I suggest a few things:
1) Ask rather than demand help.
2) Explain the assisgnment of the team and ask advice on how to get them done best -Even if you head up a cleaning crew, I bet your team can come up with ways to get the job done faster, better, cheaper...etc
3) Be the hardest worker on the team - people respect a boss who actually works.
4) Listen to your people, even if you cannot take their suggestions, listen and then explain why.
5) Be fair, work hard to be impartial... have no favorites.
6) Give alot of feedback, look for every opportunity to give praise.
7) Be willing to "fire" a bad apple, the rest of the team will appreciate it.
Gain trust by being trustworthy.. be a person who keeps your word, is always honest, and never gossips.
9) Small rewards - A can of coke or box of donuts for everyone one day out of your own pocket will pay big dividends.
10) Middle management is the hardest, explain your bosses expectation to your workers, so they can work with you rather than against you.
11) Remember they are just people too - having good and bad days just trying to make a living. Treat them as such.

Best of everything with your co-workers.

Employees can be encouraged by giving bonus and incentives.employers can evaluate the employees to give the bonus.employer should organize parties and tour to motivate the employees.

If you're the boss, think outside the box to find creative and reliable ways to motivate your employees. First and foremost, let them know you trust and depend on them. Have an open door policy when it comes to suggestions and ideas. When employees feel that their voice matters, they in turn feel confident about their positions in the company and that they have more at stake than just a paycheck. It's amazing how a simple "please" and "thank you" fares with employees. You simply speak to staff the way you would want to be spoken to. Reward performances based on meeting certain goals.

money is a very bad motivator and can lead to worse performance.

Better to
- have a culture of positivity, encouragement and appreciation
- foster purpose (why are we doing what we are doing)
- give more freedom to employees

Friendly environment. Less Toxic. If toxicity can't be avoided, provide compensations like team building and other detoxification activity to reduce stress. Don't be rude.

motivate employees by giving bonuses when working well and on time.

Hello, the leadership instructed me to develop a bonus payroll system or come up with some kind of incentive. Tell me, what motivates you to work at all, how to raise team spirit?

It's simple really. I find that if you provide your employees with an amazing/healthy/non-toxic work environment & a clear set of goals for the success of the company you will have motivated workers. That motivation wears off if your pay scale is on the lower end of your industry & good talent will be poached. Employee retention is a combination of excellent pay, awesome work culture & belief in the company goals. Share the wealth!

Employees are motivated when you praise their merits, when they see that their activity causes a result it's the best motivation for them to do more

[Clyvizcarra]

First of all, you should appreciate on how they work so that they will fell motivated. Because every employee needs to be appreciated by their leaders.

In our company, we are motivated to work hard because of the bonuses and incentives that we recieve. Through simple rewards, we become eager to strive and perform well just to have those appreciation. An employee only needs to feel important and appreciated in the company. Let them feel that they are valued because they always play a vital role in the company.

Not all people are looking for money, or should i say not bit amount. Yes, they are working to get money but more than it, they need a good environment and nice leader.
NO BOSS, boss get their employees down and heartbroken.
what do employees need is a great leader to motivate them and make them be comfortable working and to grow with the guidance of the upper leader.
BOSS will HARM all of his workers and never be a boss. money is everywhere but a great leader is just a few.
