One Key Factor in Motivating Your Employees
Steve Harap
Leadership experts agree that it is very important to know what motivates each of your employees. We often forget, however, to consider what causes them stress. For example, employees may be motivated by a promotion, but may be stressed out by additional responsibility or working longer hours. This can be a problem. While you may not be able to solve these dilemmas for employees, openly discussing motivations and stress triggers may help them find ways to cope and shows that you care about their feelings. This is especially important now given our current economic conditions. Employees are stressed too. They know if the business is having difficulties and your employees may be feeling uncertain about their futures. Honest dialogue and being "kept in the know" will help to keep the people who are crucial to your success motivated.
