Team Motivation Ideas to Energize Your Teams

 

“I can live for two months on a good compliment.”—Mark Twain

 

 

Do you need employee motivation ideas and techniques to boost your teams performance and improve job satisfaction?

 

Are you too busy to come up with reward and recognition ideas for your team?

 

I can help--I'm Greg Smith.  In my new book, Tips 'N Techniques, I'll show you how to:

  • Create employee motivation techniques to create a motivating work environment

  • Team motivation techniques to reward and recognize team contributions

  • Improve communication

  • Employee recognition strategies to improve job satisfaction

  • Employee motivation ideas to energize and engage your team

  • Energize team building

  • How to have fun at work!

Let me explain by telling you about a manager named Joan...

 

Joan was frustrated to the point that she wanted to start yelling at someone.  There was a budget crunch on, and she'd had to let some people go.  That was bad enough, but then when she asked her administrative assistant, Amy, to pitch in and help, she said she couldn't do it all. 

 

She tried to motivate her by telling her she'd figure out a way.  But the next day she quit.  Now she was going to have to get someone else.  She never understood why Amy quit, after 22 years with the company.  But Amy knew.

From her point of view, Amy had watched as co-worker after co-worker was downsized.  She shouldered more and more responsibilities each time and felt as if she had five times as much work.  Then Joan had to let Lisa go, a contract worker who worked closely with Amy, and told Amy she'd have to do Lisa's job, too.  When she protested, Joan was unsympathetic.

To make matters worse, Joan had gotten so busy she had to less time to  recognize Amy's work or rewarded her in any way for months.  The Employee of the month program was not effective. She felt overworked and underappreciated, so she quit.  Now she’s a floor clerk at a local homebuilding store. She makes half the money—but has twice the fun, and feels her efforts are recognized rather than ignored.  And that's important to her.

Money attracts people like Amy to the front door of Joan's company, and rewards and recognition would keep them from going out the back.  When asked people usually say they change jobs for more pay, but survey after survey shows that they quit because they just don't get enough appreciation.

Here's the thing:  People have a basic human need to feel appreciated and to be recognized.  If you don't give them that, they will seek it out elsewhere.

 

If You Have People who don't have employee recognition or enjoy their work, Your Company Is Failing To Profit!

 

 

But There Is A Solution!

 

 

When you reward and recognize employees, they are happier, stay longer, and are more productive!

 

 

Want more profits?  Show employee appreciation and provide team motivation ideas.

 

 

What does an engaged employee look like?  She comes in early to get a head-start, reaches out to other co-workers, smiles frequently, and is always there for the customer. They have fun at work!

 

What does a disengaged employee looks like?  He's late or absent, doesn't want to be bothered, goes to lunch by himself, and is indifferent to customers.  When it's 5:00, he's on his way out the door.

 

What does a successful business look like?  It has that has systems and processes to reward, recognize, and sustain those important behaviors that nurture engaged employees. 

 

If you don't reward and recognize good behaviors, you won't get them.   People don't just work for money.


 

Do you know what motivates employees and your teams?  Think it's money?  Think again...

 

I used to work at a place where it was just assumed that money was the biggest motivator.  Pay people more and they'll do more...or so we thought.  Then we took a poll.

 

Turned out the biggest perceived perk wasn't the highest salary or biggest bonus--it was parking spaces.  Many of our employees had to park blocks away, so nearby spots were highly valued signs of status. 

 

We started rewarding improvements in behaviors with better parking spots and we got incredible results.

 

It's About Team Building Ideas and Employee Recognition

 

Peer recognition is one of the easiest and most effective ways to turn your team around. Peer recognition is:

 

  • Providing staff appreciation and reward them for doing a good job.

  • Highly effective because employees know who works hard and deserves recognition.

  • Catching people doing the right things and rewarding them.

  • Prized by employees because they value each other’s influence more than their supervisor’s.

  • Cost-effective, because management can't be everywhere in the workplace at once.

 

In my book, Tips 'N Techniques, I show you how to get your teams and employees to re-engage using peer recognition.  CLICK HERE to order now!  There is no risk to you with our complete, money-back guarantee.

 

 

Need a real-life example?  As a consultant, I developed a program called “My Shining Star!” for a client. I made sure team members had access to an unlimited supply of “My Shining Star!” forms to hand-write a little note about the good job their co-workers did. On the back of the form, we listed the behaviors the store want to recognize, including:

  • Demonstrates friendly, caring service

  • Shows flexibility

  • Demonstrates teamwork

  • Helps to save money

The "Shining Star" program was a shining success--a team building idea that succeeded to building teamwork, team energy and employee engagement. 

 

Successful organizations motivate and energize their workforces to achieve high levels of productivity, and I have spent hundreds of hours researching and gathering information on what they do that works. 

 

I've condensed and summarized these tips for easy implementation so you can quickly:

  • Improve job satisfaction and employee engagement

  • Create innovative and fun ways to reward your team or staff

  • Get employees engaged

  • Become a more effective manager.
