For any company to succeed it is necessary to have a motivated work force. However in today’s environment there is a discernible sense of demoralisation amongst many workers.
The causes for this are readily identifiable, many people are struggling with their own domestic finances whilst at the same time the need for increased levels of performance and efficiencies at work have rarely been as intense.
It is the responsibility of management to ensure that during these times staff members receive encouragement if they are expected to give of their best.
Too many managers are remote from the day to day activities of their staff and appear to have the attitude that the people who report to them are lucky to have a job. Instead of engaging with their staff they opt to manage by diktat.
This mentality is counterproductive. Staff need motivating and incentives do not necessarily have to come solely in the form of financial rewards.
Some of the best run and therefore by definition most successful commercial entities are those where the workforce is engaged and feels part and parcel of the organisation rather than merely there to make up the numbers.
