Appreciation Works Better than Money

 

What an insightful BUSINESS quote from Mother Teresa.

Employees have more hunger for appreciation and recognition than money and bonus. Why?

Because we are naturally SOCIAL ANIMALS and always looking for approval of others, specially those we serve to.

Pay attention to different needs of your employees as HUMAN BEINGS. Sometimes a simple thank you, tapping on shoulders, applauding in front of co-workers and showing them their efforts are VALUED make a more powerful impact than cash.

Employee engagement = satisfaction + motivation

American psychologist Frederick Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory proposes that people are influenced by two factors: those that impact motivation and basic factors that influence job satisfaction.

Hygiene factors determine a person’s level of satisfaction with their job and strongly influence employee retention.  If they are not met, they lead to job dissatisfaction and cause employees to look for better opportunities elsewhere.

Motivation factors influence how a person performs on the job. When an employee is motivated, they invest more of themselves in their work and strive to do better.

To have engaged employees, organizations should invest on both employees’ satisfaction and motivation. High engagement should be organization’s top priority. Organizations with genuinely engaged employees have higher retention, productivity, customer satisfaction, innovation, and quality. They also require less training time, experience less illness, and have fewer accidents.
