Employee Motivation

The dictionary defines motivation as 'causing motion or action'. Essentially the word motivation as used in the business environment means the natural desire to get the job done.

There are many theories and books written on the subject of motivation, however it is sometimes useful to look at the subject in fairly simple terms.

Practice the techniques to see which work for you. It may seem simple, but the effects can be very satisfying.

Team building events are an excellent way of boosting motivation. They provide a shared experience in which colleagues who don’t necessarily mix at work can bond over and get to know each other whilst working together.
