Activities to Motivate Your Employees

Employees play a vital role in business, no matter what position they are in. No matter how excellent your products are, it would still be impossible to survive all the trials in the business world if not for the dedication and hard work of all your employees. With this, it is important that you always consider their welfare and find ways to motivate them. One way to do this is to organize a weekend getaway this summer and make them experience fishing state or hiking together to give them a break from all the pressures they get from work.

The world of business is not just about the money because the people linked to it are of equal importance. Organizing outdoor company activities is one way to show you care for them.

Even though such activities could mean spending a certain amount for it to be pushed through, you should still consider having one at least once a year. Consider it as a wise investment to keep everything in your business in tact. With outdoor activities, your employees will surely be motivated and your business will soon be successful.

Motivational Drives

The life of a company depends entirely on the profit it makes; the profit depends on the production capability of the company; the production capability depends on technology and the performance people in the company; the performance of the employees depends on their motivation. In short, we could say (with all things being equal), that much of the company’s success should be attributed to the motivation of its employees. If a company wishes to improve itself, the aspect that the company should focus on is the motivation of its employees.

According to David McClelland, there are three motivational drives, namely: achievement motivation, affiliation motivation, and power motivation. Achievement motivation is the drive that induces an employee to work even harder in order that he may accomplish the duties assigned to him and get ahead of everyone.

Affiliation-motivated people, on the other hand are employees who are driven to work better whenever they are with their friends; these people work best in an environment where they feel belongingness.

The last but not the least, people with power drives. These employees tend to perform better whenever they are able to take control of people, tasks and situations. They are motivated by the fact that they can create an impact on their companies.

There are many types of employees in a company. Each of these employees has different motivational drives, and therefore is differently motivated. In order that a company may improve its profit, it should take note of the different motivational drives of its employees.
