Why do some people climb mountains?
While others run?

And why do billions of people go to work each day?
Motivation
Technically Motivation is

But I prefer this
 Motive  + Action
TIME OUT But why is motivation so challenging?

Ensure recognition is timely and focuses on achievements
Reward your employees with appropriate and individualized tools, (i.e. a $20 gas card would not be a motivator for someone that telecommutes)
Make recognition a priority utilizing formal and informal methods – ensure you do this on a regular basis
Get creative, some of the best recognition is low cost but high in creativity

  1. Focus – how do you get employees to focus on the things that are important to the organization when there are a multitude of elements that are distracting them or pulling them in different directionsPersonalities – no two people are motivated in exactly the same manner. My research on this highlights that different people have different motivational triggers. So how do we build programs that address this fact. Leadership – we have to deal with different levels of acumen regarding leadership. Individuals are greatly impacted by their immediate supervisor – how motivating this person is or isn’t can greatly impact a person or teams overall motivationCommunication – One very clear finding from my work has been the lack of clear communication – which leads to a lack of understanding about what rewards are, how they earn them, what they are supposed to do. As humans we tend to fill in a void – and typically not positively. Expectations – Expectancy theory highlights that motivation is driven by expectations – is my effort worth the reward. Employees are always looking at how this equation is playing out. What is important for this as well is that it is relative. So prior experience dictates how people see this relationship.Costs – there are costs associated with motivating employees – what is the ROI on programs and does it make sense to put programs in that will help with motivation if they don’t provide a return. What I’ve seen in this is that we often get focused on the cost of a program versus looking at its long term impact on performance. We lose that Environment – this includes past history, culture, the economy, competition. Companies that had to go through layoffs fully understand the impact that this can have on the overall motivation for a firmEmotion -
