Tired of constantly "motivating" your employees - motivate them systematically!

"Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress;
working hard for something we love is called passion."

- Simon Sinek

How do you avoid stress and tap into passion?

Passion and engagement does not need to be wound up every day!!

People Profits Principle #99

Structural motivation works
every minute of every day

Traditional motivation: Supervisor must take action to drive employee action.

Structural motivation: A system/process drives employee action.

"Traditional" motivation does not work:

Employees SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS
It is ONE SIZE FITS ALL
By definition it is SHORT TERM
It can be DELIVERED BADLY and have UNINTENDED consequences
SELDOM do employees have a truly positive reaction to it

A well thought out system can resolve all of these issues

"Structural" motivation has the advantages of:

Being well THOUGHT OUT in advance
Being designed for a CERTAIN GROUP of employees
Crafted for ANY TIME PERIOD
A WELL CRAFTED MESSAGE is part of the system and process
Employee RESPONSE AND INPUT will increase the chance of success

What does Structural Motivation look like?

It can take many forms, however certain issues are critical:

CULTURE, VALUES and DEMOGRAPHICS of the GROUP
ALIGNMENT of GOALS with the ORGANIZATION
The MESSAGE within the system and the DELIVERER
The RELEVANCE of the REWARD not its' form
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Ready to eliminate the frustration and build a motivational system?

People Profits case study: Over 28 years every time a supervisor, manager, director or VP complained that they could not get their employees to do what needed to be done - we turned to Structural Motivation. It took some time and effort to build the right system and process and even more to receive input from the employees. But every time the system and process worked and the employees were motivated by the system. The results were always within the goals that were originally identified.
