I believe that employees feel that the involvement and the questions make them feel valued because the company is looping them in on potential changes that can impact the work environment. Furthermore, associates are more productive because they believe in the goals of the organization.I think that associates work harder because they feel that there is one common goal and to reach that goal we have to work together and not individually.The company also pay incentives based on the aims of the organization, not just the individual. Additionally, associates are committed to the goal of the organization, and they feel upper management not only looks at the bottom line of the company but also the happiness and work-life balance of the team
If invested in and developed, employees are more likely to feel their social needs are met by being part of a team are well regarded and appreciated for their skill set and therefore motivated to work harder to reciprocate which leads to higher production and efficiency. People are able to realise their abilities and potential, take on more responsibility or variety of tasks which improves versatility and prevents boredom leading to demotivation. Staff feel happier if they feel valued and are likely to stay within the organisation.
According to researcher Lindner (1998), motivated employees are needed in our rapidly changing workplaces to aid in the survival of organizations. Not only is it important to meet the needs of the consumer, it is equally important that to make sure that associates are taken care of and remain motivated. For this reason, Gibson, Ivancevich, Donnelly and Konopaske (2012) “states much of management’s time is spent addressing the motivation of their employees” (p. 125). According to the Encyclopedia of Small Business (2007), employee motivation is the level of energy, commitment, and creativity employees bring to their jobs; the inner force that drives individuals to accomplish personal and organizational goals (Lindner, 1988). Despite its obvious importance, employee motivation can be an elusive quest for managers due to the multiplicity of incentives that can influence employees to do their best work. The reality is that every employee has different ways to become motivated and the knowledge of how to motivate them is key to organizational success. It is imperative that employers get to know the personal needs and wants of their employees in order to establish tactics in which to motivate each of them. Once achieved, “managers are in a better position to encourage and reward employees to behave in effective ways” (Gibson et al, 2012, p.
I have been involved in a group work for my marketing class. Each week we have an assignment. We divide the work up and each work on our assigned portions. Each week we agree on a timetable of completion and each week one member always submits their portion past the agreed upon timeline. This person does not communicate that their portion will be late and does not respond to emails asking when they will their work done. This person’s late work has caused us to rush to produce the final document every week. I am trying to communicate that this person’s late work does not give us the opportunity to create the best assignments we are capable of because we are working against the clock. The person who is blocking my goal is the woman who submits her work late, every week.
When I was reading the Case Study 35, I figured that Mary would know that others would probably have tried for her position, just as she had done. I supposed it would have been nice to inform her about Juanita and Sue while offering her the position. I do not think she would have let that make her turn it down. Chris did inform Mary about the internal candidates and the issues she may have with Juanita while walking her through (Clardy, 2012). According to Clardy (2012) according to realistic job previews, Mary should have been told about any relevant information regarding the job that she is being offered.

Successful organizations demand satisfied employees. Figure 1 below shows a theoretical one-way linkage chain called the "Engagement-Profit Chain." This chain directly shows how active employee engagement leads to good service which ensures that customers will to continue coming back, providing a solid foundation on which the company can grow. As employee effort is indeed discretionary, it has been observed that higher levels of engagement, or the way management commits itself emotionally to employees, pushes a higher level of discretionary effort (Kruse, 2014). It is not by chance that
Companies that have higher levels of engaged employees have higher earnings per share (EPS) than companies that have lower engagement levels (Kelleher, 2011). Engaged employees are more productive, have higher levels of customer loyalty and help their employers become more profitable. An engaged employee is less likely to leave their current position. This saves their company money because there is no need to spend money to hire and train new personal. These saving can be passed along to the employees for increased wages, bonuses, and benefits. All of these items help in motivating employees, to attempt to engage the disengaged.
Employees are encouraged to share with each other on the lessons learned from project and events through debriefing sessions.Company also reward employees through several different variable-pay programs. Employees have these stock as part of their benefit. This helps to retain employees and motivate employees to work harder. Moreover, company also provides educational forums so that staff can discuss and learn about different topics that interest them.
Contentment and satisfaction of employees is extremely important as jobs are becoming more specified, selecting and training another set of workers is a long, expensive process. Motivation is the strongest, most efficient way to keep employees happy and at peak performance and things such as just saying “thank you” go a long way. In a study completed by Forbes, who polled over 2,000 professionals found that 53% of workers are more likely to stay with a company for a longer period of time solely based off of them receiving more appreciation from their boss/manager. That same study also found that 81% of workers are more motivated at work when their boss shows appreciation or thanks. Human resources has a huge part to play in this because of their role in the development, maintenance, and retention of employees. The HR management must make sure that bosses and managers with workers under their supervision feel appreciated and heard. This will lead to the employees working harder and/or better, making them more proud and happy, while benefiting the business by having a more efficient worker.
