Dear Everyone,

I have been noticing lots of unsatisfied employees in my workplace due to the nature of the job or it might be any other unknown reasons. Well, we cannot do anything about the job's nature but are willing to motivate the employees through any other means. Kindly suggest ways to retain them.

While writing a post in the public forum, you need to provide complete information. What is the nature of the industry, what is your finished product, where is your company located, how many employees are there, what is your designation, etc. You feel that employee motivation is below the expected level. Have you conducted any kind of study to measure motivation? You have mentioned that motivation is low because of the nature of the job. What is the nature of this job? Is it due to repetitiveness? If yes, then what is the scope for rotating their jobs?

The last sentence of your post reads, "Kindly suggest ways to retain them." Is motivation the major problem, or is retention the major problem, or are both your issues? Employees may be well motivated but they quit the company in search of greener pastures. Therefore, despite having a motivated workforce, retention becomes a problem. In contrast, employees are not motivated, but they do not quit the company either. Therefore, their retention becomes meaningless.

Earlier, I provided an exhaustive reply about attrition analysis. Check the following link to refer to it: https://www.citehr.com/519562-employ...ml#post2211229

Regarding employee motivation, I have previously given two replies. Check the following links: https://www.citehr.com/427885-motiva...ew-policy.html https://www.citehr.com/433012-employ...rtificate.html

If you wish to learn about employee motivation from an academic study point of view, you may click the following link: https://www.citehr.com/35175-differe...otivation.html

Go through the above links, identify your exact problem, create an action plan, and then come back to us. Please note that any action plan must be based on a sufficient study of the organization. Without the study, motivating employees may become a wild goose chase.

Thanks,
