Dear Bilquis,

What is the nature of your query? Are you a student or a professional? Is low motivation a problem in your company or someone else's company? You feel that employee motivation is below the expected level. Have you done any kind of study to measure motivation? Earlier, I had given an exhaustive reply about attrition analysis. Check the following link to refer to it:

As far as employee motivation is concerned, earlier I have given two lengthy replies. Check the following links:

If you wish to know about employee motivation from an academic study point of view, then you may click the following link:

Go through the above links, find out what exactly your problem is, make an action plan, and then come back to us again. Please note that any action plan has to be based on sufficient study of the organization. Without the study, motivating the employee may become a wild goose chase.

Hi Dinesh,

I appreciate your response. I work as an HR professional in a company with 3 years of experience in this field. I am looking to implement various strategies for employee retention and motivation to ensure that we are moving in the right direction. My goal is for employees to have a positive and fulfilling experience in the workplace, which, in my opinion, is a crucial aspect of HR.

Thank you for sharing the links with me. I will review them and reach out if I have any questions.

Thanks,

Dear Kultaran S Soni,

If you know that a section of employees is overburdened and the other section underutilized, then this is an operations management problem. It cannot be solved through motivation. You need to study the causes of both overwork and underwork. You need to:

a) study the flow of the work
b) measure the turnaround time of each major process
c) measure the turnaround time of the various sub-processes of each major process
d) identify bottlenecks in the processes
e) measure the labor hours and machine hours for each process
f) find out whether the process compliance is measured
g) identify whether the turnaround time and other activities are measured meticulously
h) identify the scope for free flow of communication and that too in a standardized manner. Identify the scope of the introduction of new forms, templates, etc.
i) identify means of recording the failures and study the pattern of the failures.

While employee motivation is important, it cannot solve the problem of demotivation arising out of the deficiencies of the operations.

Lastly, don't ever think of hiring a motivational speaker. While the motivation level may go up for a while, the speech's effect will wane sooner than later!

Thanks,
