Employee Motivation
WE CREATE A CULTURE OF CONNECTION™ WITHIN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ULTIMATELY LEADS TO INCREASED EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION, EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, RETENTION, AND PRODUCTIVITY
If you lead a team or organization with younger members, you better be paying attention to each employee’s intrinsic factors for motivation.
If you aren’t, you might face the consequences of the cost of millennial employee turnover, which is reported to be as high as 30% of the annual salary of that employee.
Here are three creative policies you can use to better tap into an employee’s intrinsic factors for motivation:
1) Encourage The Side Hustle: Companies are allowing their employees to explore ideas that excite them, while also leading to some amazing breakthrough products for the companies, such as Gmail.
2) Make Caring Part Of The Culture: The simple notion of letting them know they have this space and ability to share makes caring a part of our culture. The work gets done, we just have to remember that it’s humans doing the work.
3) Focus on Results Not Hours: Give your millennials space to make hours that allow them to get all their work done, while also the ability to leave early or come in late if needed. Holding them to strict hours will make them feel caged.
