Motivation and Reward


When we think about what motivates employees to do a good job, the first thing that springs to mind is money. There is no denying that monetary reward is a prime motivator for staff! However, there are many other Reward and Recognition practices that can be used to develop a culture where employees feel that the work they do is being noticed and appreciated.

Much research has been carried out exploring the issue of motivation in the workforce. Overall the following determinants have been discovered to be key in job satisfaction:

	Achievement
	Recognition
	Type of work
	Responsibility
	Advancement

In addition to this there is the "hygiene" side of work. Are employees satisfied with the company in which they work? Do they feel that the practices and policies followed are appropriate, and are the working conditions good?

Taking into account the determinants above and a number of other factors, we can build an innovative Motivation and Reward programme for your company that will show your appreciation of your staff's contribution to the organization and demonstrate that you value their skills and knowledge. There are numerous Human Resource activities to achieve this, both short and long term, from reviewing your current pay structures, to carrying out an employee climate study, by developing your managers skills in how to recognise and act on contribution to improving employee communication, even setting up peer recognition programmes and team award schemes.

The Human Resource expertise from Jo Dale Consulting will enable you to review your current practices around Motivation and Reward and, with you, design activities to motivate and challenge your employees.
