Track project results and celebrate milestone
10
Any achievement by an employee should be acknowledged and celebrated. This helps in motivating him or her to perform with renewed zeal and passion the next time around.

Give support and accolades
11
There are times when the team members need hand holding or support for achieving something big. It is at this time when the Company needs to stand by its employees.

Conduct workshops on cross-training
12
Each employee should have knowledge of not just his or her job profile, but also about other departments in an organization. This will not just help in creating a healthy work atmosphere across departments, but also motivate each department to perform better than the other.

Allowing individuals to make critical decisions
13
Each employee should be allowed to make critical decisions within their areas of expertise goes a long way in establishing and maintaining employee investment.

Employers must look to empower their associates

This not only gives them a sense of responsibility but also the idea of owning an authority keeps them motivated...

Give them each a piece of the company

See them as valuable assets not "tools" to achieve your organization’s objectives only.

Staff need feedback on a timely basis and requires praise on a regular basis to feel acknowledged, appreciated, engaged and part of the team.
