Aim for motivation

Studies show that employee motivation is a key factor in relation to revenue, efficiency, customer satisfaction, performance and reducing absenteeism. Organisations with highly motivated and engaged employees improved operating profit by 19.2 percent over a period of 12 months, whereas organisations with low engagement saw a decline of up to 32 percent.

Other studies show that employees who consider themselves highly motivated are up to four times more productive than employees who do not. One interesting aspect of the result of these studies is that the level of motivation and engagement among your employees is, to a very large extent, something that you can influence.

What do you think when you hear that there is no such thing as unmotivated employees? They simply do not exist! Do you agree or do you think this is a very naive statement?
