Workforce today is more expressive about their needs. Employees desire the best of everything competitive salaries, comfortable & inspirational lifestyles, job security, career enhancement options, work-life balance, and so on. Competition for talent is ever increasing and organizations need to have well-defined philosophies and strategies to help them develop innovative ways of tapping intrinsic motivation of employees by engaging their hearts and minds. The focus should be given on how managers are able to implement these types of motivation into their specific work place. This will show how motivation is important to all industries, and how it can change and impact the amount sales a bank performs. Motivated employees will in turn create a successful bank.
