Top five ways to keep your team motivated

Managing employees’ motivations is a crucial component to any business’ success. 

Here, Juliet Moran, founder of business specialist TelephoneSystems.Cloud highlights five ways to keep teams stimulated.

She says: “It’s important to implement several strategies in the workplace to encourage motivation.

“Offer active support and set annual objectives for teams to optimise workload.

“Managers should also encourage honest feedback from employees and actively implement any changes to acknowledge experiences from the past year that can be adapted.

“By investing in the latest industry technologies, employees will have the space and ability to embrace creativity, while working to boost productivity.

“And by offering incentives, such as promotions and pay rises, your team will feel appreciated and motivated to continue contributing the best they can.”

Juliet’s top five recommendations for a motivated workforce:

Invite honest feedback

Sit down with your team and invite an open and honest discussion about any changes that could be made.

Create a welcoming and casual environment to encourage employees to speak freely about feedback and potential changes.

Take their observations on board and consider implementing them into the workplace.

Encourage development

Remind employees of their value and how their efforts have helped shape the company.

Actively rewarding hard work with promotions and pay rises will help keep your teams motivated and encourage them to continue contributing to the bigger picture.

Offer active support and resources

Offer up active support and productive resources such as additional training and industry tools to help others get up to speed.

Set annual objectives

Set clear objectives for the year so employees can optimise their workload throughout each quarter and understand priorities.

Setting these expectations and goals will help your team operate in a productive manner while staying focused.

Implement new technologies

Consider introducing new technology to foster an efficient workspace and encourage employees to feel engaged.

Harnessing innovation can boost team creativity and motivate individuals to excel.
