1. motivation
Here is an 8 mark response evaluating the importance of having a well motivated workforce:
A well motivated workforce is crucial for businesses as it directly impacts productivity, absenteeism, quality, turnover and training & recruitment. Motivated employees work harder and are more productive, leading to increased output and profits. They are less likely to take time off without good reason, lowering absenteeism rates. High motivation ensures staff strive for excellence, maintaining and improving quality standards. Workers remain loyal to employers that motivate them, reducing staff turnover. New recruits are attracted to companies with a reputation for motivating staff, easing training and recruitment. Overall, a motivated team is invaluable in helping a business maximise its potential through enhanced performance in all key areas.
