5 simple ways to improve motivation

 5 simple tips to succeed in the workplace

I came across this article that gave a few simple tips to keep motivation in the workplace. While it doesn't contain nearly as much information as previous articles; it does get to the point and discuss exactly what is needed to motivate the workplace. Two of the steps that are discussed in the article are also discussed in great detail in chapter 6. Incentives are one of the biggest motivation techniques for employees. Piece rate incentives are one kind, where payment to employees is made on the basis of their individual output. Which mean the more work that you put into your job the better incentive that you will receive. Bonuses are a one time reward that follows specific accomplishments of employees. And merit pay is where a pay raise is based on past performance. I believe that these are the best incentives to give to employees because money is a big factor in how much work people are willing to get done. I think that pay says a lot about how much an employee is willing to work. Also communication is a big factor in the workplace because a good line of communication can increase the value of the job in the eyes of the employee. Communication can greatly reduce the stress of an employee because communication gives direct detail about how to do the job. I believe that communication and paid based incentives are the two biggest factors that will motivate workers to get their work done. What do you think? Are there any other incentives that would motivate you to work harder?
