Idea #1 to Motivate and Engage Your Staff for Increased Success

Today we are talking about idea #1 for how to engage and motivate your staff, which is to Reward Immediately and Frequently. In a study, one of the primary influences that affected the motivation of employees was recognition and reward. It was shown that small rewards offered frequently and as soon as possible after the performance had the most impact.  So, the gift of two tickets to the cinema was more rewarding than the promise of a promotion at some indeterminate time in the future. Conversely, inappropriate or incorrect behavior must be noted as soon as it becomes evident. While it was noted, rewards are seen as more motivational when given in the presence of other team members, bringing a staff member to account for an oversight or error is best performed in private. As a leader it is important to check for improvement in a timely manner and compliment employees if a positive change is evident. Otherwise, staff may be left wondering why they should bother if changes are not acknowledged. Tune in tomorrow for Idea #2 for how to engage and motivate your staff.   Download your complimentary support team performance assessment, so you can customize it for each of your team members by going to https://bit.ly/SupportTeamAssessment.
