Because it is down to you. You,
as the business owner, must play a huge role in this – you can’t expect
staff to feel motivated if they are
caught up in the monotonous day-to-day routine, without anything to
motivate them.
If your staff do lack motivation you will see a significant
reduction in their productivity and this will become very apparent in their work,
which will start having a detrimental effect on your business. Meanwhile,
motivate them and they will have more drive and passion within their role,
which can only benefit your company.
There are several ways you can motivate your staff – perhaps
provide training opportunities, more social events, pay incentives, make
positive changes to their working environment, allow them to voice their
opinions – both positive and negative, and so on.
But, while these will all play a role when it comes to
increasing motivation, one things you should definitely do is hire a motivational speaker –
perhaps to come and talk at one of your social events.
Not sold on hiring a motivational speaker? Here is why you should:
They will boost drive and
determination:
When your employees are motivated the work atmosphere will
be happier, more energetic and focused. There are a number of ways motivational
speakers can do this – they might use stories of adversity and challenges they
have overcome or they may tell inspirational tales of somebody making a
difference in the world. Ultimately enabling your employees to inspire and motivate
themselves.
They bring knowledge and skill:
Choose a speaker tailored to your business and, as well as
motivation, they can bring with them knowledge and skills in that sector. As a
result your staff learn something useful and at the same time feel motivated to
put it into practice.
They will bring fresh ideas and new
perspectives:
You can get stuck in a rut doing the same tasks, in the same
way, all day, every day. Changes bring challenges and it might feel like, as
much as you would like to change, you don’t have time for these challenges.
Plus, not everyone will be welcome to change. But for the company to excel, it
must keep adapting – not only keeping up with the competition but getting ahead
of them. This is where your motivational speaker comes in – they can bring with
them new ideas and a fresh perspective for your staff and the company as a
whole – helping to change attitudes and allow things to be seen in a whole new
light.
