Day 11 – motivating factors in the workplace
Maintaining motivated staff is not always the easiest of tasks, but it does pay off for you, your customers, and the employees. As you prepare to enter a new year, season, quarter, or month, you must take the time to reflect on what made the last period or event successful and what could have made it better. So, who better to answer those questions than the people who determine the success or failure for your operation—your team.
By bringing all your employees together in a room for a meeting you create a team environment. By including them and sharing information with them, you are giving your employees an opportunity to share their perspective.
With this inclusion, you are indirectly empowering the team to contribute to the success of your whole operation, because it gives them a chance to see and understand the bigger picture. This in turn leads to them taking initiative and improving things in their own area of responsibility.
