Having motivated employees, employees who want to show up to work every day prepared to do their job to the very best of their abilities, is a primary goal of every manager and every organization. Unfortunately, this working situation is not always the case, and we are often left to deal with employees who perform mediocre work, don’t meet expectations, and seem to lack the ideal level of commitment to the organization.
There are many benefits to having highly motivated employees. Truly motivated employees are typically more loyal to their organization, possess higher levels of morale, and have improved overall relations and interactions with coworkers, vendors, clients and customers.
Additionally, organizations with highly motivated employees have lower turnover rates, lower levels of absenteeism, higher production rates, produce a higher quality of work, and contribute to the building and maintenance of a strong business reputation.
