Why is employee motivation important? Employee motivation can be the difference between success and failure for your business. Encouraging employees to behave as if they are owners of the company has proven to be a successful strategy for business growth. At the other end of the spectrum, canned employee motivation programs often lead to a lack of motivation because they lack the personal touch that shows an individual employee that you care.

It doesn't matter what product or service your company provides. If your employees are not motivated to meet your needs, they won't.

More than a Paycheck
Many are of the mindset that the almighty paycheck should be all the motivation employees need. Others believe it will bankrupt the company to invest in employee motivation strategies, failing to see that they can't afford not to. Some cynical managers even believe it isn't possible to motivate employees to grow a business at all. Others recall past employee motivation strategies that failed. Many companies have performance pay structures that reward the employee who shines with the same pay as the employee who merely warms a seat.

Failure to maintain a culture of employee motivation will not lead a company toward achieving its goals, but will instead foster mediocrity and apathy among the team. Companies that are most successful at keeping their employees motivated to exceed expectations have gone beyond implementing performance standards and rewards. They have created a culture of employee motivation that feeds into every level of the organization and is a foundation for every process.

Case Studies
The power of employee motivation was demonstrated by Springfield Remanufacturing Corp. (SRC), according to Jack Stack's book, The Great g**e of Business.

During a recession in 1991, net profits actually increased at SRC. Stack, SRC's CEO at the time, saw firsthand the results of a team of motivated employees when the company achieved a production goal beyond any previously imagined. Very solid profits were earned for the company and the employees were not forced to do anything different. They solved several business issues themselves and achieved the goal because they wanted to do it. He coined the phrase, "You gotta wanna." He motivated his team, which had historically produced 2 or 3 tractors each day, to push 800 tractors out the door in only 20 work days.

Re: Why Is Employee Motivation Important?

Hi

Many workplaces celebrate annual holidays. Over time, as you celebrate annual holidays in your workplace, you form traditions and give employees fodder for stories about their workplace. These stories and the photos from the annual events help form the company culture, the environment you provide for people at work. Employees like to celebrate holidays in the workplace.

Thanks

Re: Why Is Employee Motivation Important?

This is a very appropriate topic for discussion. Your employees are, in most businesses, your most costly expense as a business owner and the only way to make it worthwhile is for each of them to carry their own weight. It goes without saying that your employees will be more motivated to produce what is expected (or needed) if they are happy to be where they are at. Just small things that you can do will show your employees that you appreciate their effort.

Things like Friday bagels in the office, or a thank you lunch when a big project is successfully completed or a goal is met. Then you have the bigger things such as a bonus program based on performance. Your employees will appreciate these things and will in turn be more motivated simply because you are offering them a more rewarding experience.

Re: Why Is Employee Motivation Important?

Employees are the engines of your organization and like any finely tuned engine your workforce to operate smoothly and effectively. The fact is employee motivation is directly linked to business profits, and the more self-motivated your employees are, the more differentiated and successful you will be as a business.

Re: Why Is Employee Motivation Important?

Stability of workforce is very important from the point of view of reputation and goodwill of a concern. The employees can remain loyal to the enterprise only when they have a feeling of participation in the management. The skills and efficiency of employees will always be of advantage to employees as well as employees. This will lead to a good public image in the market which will attract competent and qualified people into a concern. As it is said, “Old is gold” which suffices with the role of motivation here, the older the people, more the experience and their adjustment into a concern which can be of benefit to the enterprise.

Re: Why Is Employee Motivation Important?

employees are the core of your operations. if they are not motivated , productivity suffers and your company will start making losses. The top will first get replaced before the core. that means the CEO will start to fire his executive staff who are unable to keep productivity level up

One of the first steps to learning why important motivation is to learn what motivates you and then make sure you do so on a regular basis. Are you interested? More time? Praise and recognition? Just because you're the boss doesn't mean you shouldn't be rewarded! Chances are good that many of the things that you will answer the question about why it's important motivation.
