UK Training Industry Press Releases

A recent report from the Hay Group found some startling statistics:

• only 15% of workers felt ‘highly motivated'
• only 39% said that they loved their jobs
• 25% confessed to coasting
• and only 17% felt that they were in their ideal role

These poor levels of Motivation must clearly have a negative effect on productivity - by as much as 45%!

So - what can you do about it. Some practical tips on Motivation:

1.    Make your people feel valued - celebrate success

2.    Monitor their work regularly and provide good quality feedback

3.    Create an atmosphere of approval and co-operation

4.    Make sure that everyone understands the function and philosophy of the organisation and their personal contribution to the achievement of the business objectives

5.    Provide a range of opportunities for development

6.    Make the best use of the teams Knowledge, Skills and Competencies

7.    Communicate success, progress and results

8.    Provide a challenge

9.    Create scope for greater responsibility

10. Seek ideas from your staff and involve them in the decision making process

Start today and be consistent!

Good Luck
