If
there's one thing that everyone needs to be productive at work, it's
motivation. And human motivation is a seriously complex thing.
For a manager or team leader, though, the formula is quite
simple:
High
employee motivation= more engagement, less sick-days,
greater collaboration, better employee satisfaction & talent retention
Low
employee motivation= frustration, disillusionment, low
productivity, less loyalty, greater staff-turnover
Failing
to understanding the value of motivation is one of the key mistakes in people
management. Many managers think that monetary benefit is the only motivation a
person needs...but little could be further from the truth (Just ask Dan Pink,
or watch this video "Drive").

Understanding individual motivation is the core building block of managing any team successfully. Because each of your people is motivated differently – by different things, and in different ways- it's worth investing time into understanding what really makes your employees tick.

Some people seek a high work/life balance and are driven by the
chance of stability and predictability in their vocation. They need praise,
confirmation and regular pat on the back to feel valued and motivated.
Other,
more goal-driven employees need freedom from authority, big-picture projects
and a varied and exciting work environment which is constantly changing. These
results-oriented go-getters may be driven by money to a certain extent, but
take their freedom and limit their creativity, and watch them wither and leave.
An
employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum
of interactions with his or her manager.- Bob Nelson
It
really is that simple, and many of you working in HR and management have more
than likely seen it too.
Remember,
to motivate your people, find out what they love, observe the moments when they
are in the flow, and provide them – as individuals –
with the kind of the working environment that makes them feel like they can
conquer the world.
