How To Motivate Your Employees Effectively

By Jenkins Ebiware Jr  Published On August 26, 2020

When you’re at the helm in the workplace, a lot of responsibility lies directly on your shoulders. A large part of that responsibility can motivate your employees. This is something you have to do if you want your team to succeed. However, many leaders find this to be a very daunting task.

Employee motivation isn’t an easy job, mainly because there are so many people involved—each with their personalities, motivations, and expectations. But don’t let that stop you. There are a few everyday things you can do in your organization to get and keep your employees motivated. Here are three things you can do to motivate your employees.

Keep Your Requirements Clear To Motivate Employees

When you’re assigning projects and tasks to your team members, it’s important that you keep your requirements as clear and simple as possible. Being able to speak with a clear and objective mind will make it easier to get your point across. This makes it easier to understand exactly what you’re hoping to achieve and leads to making it easier to accomplish. Simpler is always better.

Motivate Your Employees by Giving Clear Objectives

Why should people work for you? Loyalty and work ethic aside, it’s crucial that those under your command are given the right incentives to perform. This goes beyond just a salary. The performance of those in your organization can be attributed to how your employees perceive their work. Do they understand clearly what they’re working towards? How their work directly impacts people or perhaps an industry?

By clearly explaining what your goal is for your organization, you’re giving them the chance to become personally invested in the work they produce- Leading to higher quality work and employees that are willing to do what it takes to help you reach your goal as a leader.

Sharing Feedback Increases Employee Motivation

The employees in your organization are always looking for feedback. Positive or otherwise. If they’ve accomplished something great, make sure to recognize it. This is something that absolutely can’t be taken for granted as a team leader. At the same time, you’ll also want to give constructive feedback if someone’s performance isn’t up to your expectations. Start the discussion with a plan to improve and show that you’re there to support their growth.

The Bottom Line

How motivated your employees feel they can have a direct impact on the success of your company. If you’re looking for loyalty, faithfulness, and trust from your employees, these three ideas will help you take the right approach in how you interact with your employees every day.

While using these techniques, you’ll want to keep in mind that there isn’t a one size fits all approach to motivate your employees. Understanding each individual’s personalities and motivations is a skill that will take some time to master. I want to invite you to our online event, Everyday Leadership: How To Build A Team You Can Count On to help you get started. In this free webinar session, we’ll cover the biggest mistake that managers and leaders make, and how to build a team that will stick with you.
