Employee Motivation

Profiles International helps you solve employee motivation issues by identifying key factors in motivating employees.
All of your employees are motivated, but not necessarily in the ways you want. People are not motivated in groups, but as individuals. Profiles International assessments individualize employees, giving you valuable information you can use to appeal to each employee’s unique needs and desires. The information you will gain also demonstrates how their personal goals are achieved through the attainment of organizational objectives.
Motivate Employees The key to motivation unlocks human potential. To be effective, managers need to understand what motivates employees within the context of the roles they perform. Of all the functions a manager performs, employee motivation is one of the most complex. As you know, work becomes a more important part of life when employees find satisfaction and an outlet for creativity in their jobs. Greater productivity and increased employee morale is the natural consequence.
Employee Morale Having followed 360,000 people through their careers during a period of 20 years, a major study published by Harvard Business Review demonstrated that a key ingredient in retaining people is ensuring that they are matched to their jobs in terms of their abilities, interests, and personalities. The study found that when you put people in jobs where the demands of the job matched their own abilities, where stimulation offered by the job matched their particular interests, and where the cultural demands of the position matched their personalities, employee turnover decreased dramatically, and productivity increased exponentially. Job Match is the key to employee motivation and increased employee morale.
By identifying the characteristics critical for Job Match, we can help you identify the key components that motivate employees. Not only will identifying these characteristics improve productivity, it also saves you money. Money is often not the biggest motivator for an employee. A recent survey mentioned in “40 Strategies for Winning in Business” by Haney and Sirbasku, found that only 15% of employees left their jobs because of inadequate salary and benefits.
The study found that of the job leavers surveyed:
30% were unhappy with management and the way they managed 25% felt they received no respect for good work 20% complained of limited opportunities for advancement 15% cited inadequate salary and benefits 5% were bored with the job 5% cited other reasons (retirement, career change, sabbatical, travel)
If employee motivation or employee morale is a concern, Profiles International is eager to help you install a system to put that concern behind you.
