Article: Money Is Not The Only Motivator In The WorkplaceMost business owners think they can buy services of employees with money. The benefits of money such as salary, vacation, sick leave, personal holidays, retirement, and bonuses are spent off the job. Money cannot buy day-to-day benefits that employees want. It takes more than money for employees to be productive. Here is proof that money doesn’t motivate. A retail supervisor is making top pay. She resigns and goes to work for another retailer that pays her the same wage. Why did she quit? The truth is she didn’t feel appreciated and probably had a conflict with another employee, perhaps a manager. This scenario plays itself out over and over in the workplace. People change jobs for the same or less money on a regular basis. Workers need three items on a daily basis to be productive. They need sincere appreciation and recognition, feeling in on things (knowing what is happening both good and bad with the company), and interesting, meaningful work. Creating an environment that focuses on daily benefits will allow employees to choose to do their best and feel good about themselves. The manager or supervisor is the person who makes or breaks the productivity of the workplace environment. Organizations that strive for excellence focus on the needs of the individual employee.
