This book was released on 2016-10-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know what motivates your employees? According to a recent survey, money is not the most motivating factor for employees in the workplace — it’s their peers. Is that the case for your staff? In this newly revised edition of 365 Ways to Motivate and Reward Your Employees Every Day — With Little or No Money, we have new surveys, techniques, and ideas that will help you figure out how to motivate your employees. In this second edition, we discuss the different motivators — internal and external — that get your employees up and going every day. A recent study from the Society of Human Resource Management found that both materialistic and non-materialistic factors play a large part in employee motivation. Things like recognition, rewards, and a good, respectful senior management team are just a few of the recommendations you will read about. By book’s end, you should know how to distinguish between those factors and apply them when your employees feel a little more sluggish than usual. Do not be the norm and force your employees into an activity or program that does not match your workplace environment. Take the time to figure out what motivates your employees and why, and make sure to pay close attention to the new ideas about incorporating technology into your workplace. This book is filled with updated information and innovative ideas that can help you figure out how to motivate your employees successfully today.
Download or read book Human Capital written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government uses incentive awards and quality step increases (QSI) to encourage employees to improve their work performance and, consequently, government operations, by recognizing work exceeding normal performance requirements. A questionnaire sent to federal employees revealed that many felt unmotivated by their agencies' incentive programs and believed that the workers most deserving of cash awards were often passed over. Other comments identified the failure of awards programs to increase productivity and the feeling that improvements in efficiency were not recognized with awards. An analysis of incentive awards programs revealed that some workers receiving awards were rated as below-average performers. These problems exist because agency programs overlook the following basic components: linkage to agency goals, systems for setting work expectations and measuring performance, motivation of managers to use awards programs, timely and relevant awards separated from the basic salary rate, and an annual evaluation of program results. Most employees questioned believed that an improved incentives system would improve their performance. In most agencies surveyed, GAO found an excessive use of the QSI as the most commonly granted form of cash recognition, rather than the generally preferable promotion. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 helps associate incentive awards and employee performance, although the Act provides only the framework for change; the responsibility for accomplishment lies with supervisors and managers.

Download or read book Compensation and Motivation written by Thomas J. McCoy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Compensation and Motivation" is the first book in the Culture of Partnership series. With a strong foundation in social science and behavioral psychology, this book will show you how to develop incentive plans that work! Turn the cost of compensation into an investment that will increase revenue and profit, enhance the value of the organization and motivate all employees to deliver the business strategy. Compensation and Motivation describes how to develop the right reward system that will engage and motivate the target audience. Employees come to work for the rewards, either material (money), social (recognition and appreciation) or both. Mr. McCoy shows how to combine behavioral psychology and business strategy to create a reward system that offers fulfillment to the employees if they deliver on the company goals. This book goes beyond just showing how to link pay to performance. It shows how to balance the array of rewards that a company can offer (cash, benefits, meaningful work, social recognition and appreciation) so that the maximum motivation is obtained with the least overall cost. It's called "the mix that motivates." Since this book was initially published, over 65 percent of all businesses now offer some form of incentive to all employees. However, many of those efforts are ineffective in achieving the organization's goals. This book shows how to engage all employees in the business, motivate them to perform at exceptional levels, create a common focus and a feeling of shared destiny (teamwork.) Learn how to become an employer of choice. Learn how to engage employees so that the operation "runs itself." Learn how to use compensation as the engine that drives a Culture of Partnership.

Download or read book The Cash Performance Award Program as a Motivator of GM General Merit Employee Productivity written by Samuel A Brown (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the case performance award program of the Department of the Army (DA) as it relates to General Merit (GM) employees and, based upon a review of program data, concludes that: several essential steps within the context of a broader performance management process are perhaps not being effectively negotiated; and, the process are perhaps not being effectively negotiated; and, the program is characterized by a lack of clearly defined goals and objectives, and the existence of distributional inequities. The study develops a proposed survey research questionnaire that would enable DA to: determine if the cash performance award program serves as a positive motivator for GM employees to be more productive; and, examines their attitudes and perceptions regarding a number of practices and procedures that could also have a bearing upon motivation and, hence, productivity. Data as obtained from the survey questionnaire would enable DA to better identify dysfunctional practices and procedures, and to formulate corrective fixes to enhance the viability of the broader performance management process. That process is examined in some detail, to emphasize the interrelatedness of its component steps and to demonstrate how a failure to effectively negotiate each of those respective steps could serve to influence GM employee motivation, as well as have a bearing upon the effectiveness of the cash performance award as a motivational tool. Keywords: Incentive awards.
Download or read book Drive written by Daniel H. Pink and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
