Six Ways to Drive Employee Performance and Motivation

Motivating your people is a delicate and purposeful challenge that requires more than an annual review or jotting a few notes in someone’s personnel file. Just like getting in shape or learning a new language, bolstering the motivation and performance levels of your employees won’t happen overnight.  

Here are six ways you can improve performance and motivation in your workplace:

1. Make Expectations Clear
2. Provide Continuous Feedback
3. Correct Privately; Praise Publicly
4. Believe in Your Employees
5. Make Rewards Achievable
6. Let Them Know What They're Fighting For
