1. Recognition of individual ability
It is basic human nature that an individual needs personal
recognition. Personal recognition will have a great impact
on the worker who was singled out for his great individual
performance. This will encourage him to be a better
contributor to his group, and to the organization as a
whole.

2. Sense of achievement
Management must create among workers the feeling that
they achieve something, both individually and collectively.
Workers feel that sense of achievement whenever a goal
has been reached or when new innovations have been
effected. Show team achievemnts during stand-ups
meeting in the morning.

3. Learning and growth
Learning and growing within an organization is a
continuous process. It does not end when a worker has
mastered the necessary skills of his job. Management must
give workers opportunities to learn new skills to enable
them to move to different level, possibly a higher one,
within the organization.

Management must create a work environment that will be
stimulating to the workers. Continous
improvement culture must stimulate workers to solve
small problems, to spot waste, to collaborate and feel
responsible for all the achievements of the organization
and for the clients.

5. Responsibility and empowerment
Workers are given their individual and collective
responsibilities as an individual worker and as a member
of the team. Together with the responsibility given comes
the empowerment of the same. Workers must be
empowered, or given the authority, to carry out their
responsibilities.

A higher position with the corresponding higher pay is one
of the greatest motivators for the workers. Given a higher

he does in the organizational.
