How to Motivate Employees in an Average Busy Day of a Manager

An average manager's day consists of meetings and conference calls with senior members and handling employee concerns on top of everyday responsibilities. Days running long and lunches quickly eaten, one of the most important tasks that a manager needs to focus on is motivating their team.

How do you accomplish this with so many other tasks to focus on? Two "simple" words. Employee Engagement. Stop telling employees what they have to do, and instead tell them why the company's success is dependent on them performing at their highest level. The following are a few steps to implement today for higher employee engagement:
  • Ask for Employee Input - Use surveys, or simply ask if they see something that they could do differently and more effectively in their every day tasks.
  • Recognize Employees - Do this on a normal basis, monthly or quarterly. This engages and encourages employees, even if their not the one recognized because it shows that there is a level of engagement from the company.
  • Promote and Plan for Individual Goals - Personal goals, with follow up, gives the company an overall productivity boost.
