Staff motivation
Ensuring staff remain motivated can help to boost productivity, company loyalty and levels of engagement. While the overall organisation’s culture and quality of management are key drivers of motivation, employers can use a team building event or individual incentive, staff award and social, days out, prizes and vouchers to reward and recognise employees who achieve in the workplace. Methods of reward to motivate can include, paper reward vouchers; online accounts or reward cards and internal award ceremonies. Corporate recognition awards and reward programmes can be both inexpensive and hugely valuable for the employer and to assess the success of reward and recognition schemes, employee motivation can be recorded using techniques such a motivation questionnaire.
