Create the desire to achieve

The executive who responded “…about half” when asked how many people worked for his company expressed a feeling common among senior managers.

No surprise then that the #1 problem of 2007 is the people issue of retention, recruitment, skills and costs.

A survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) found that those happy in their work are reluctant to leave, even forgoing higher pay to stay. Our survey showed that most hiring executives believe pay to be the prime motivator in their people. The evidence from the hired gives the lie to this. How do we make this better?

Everyone needs a functioning policy of motivation management to create the desire to achieve in employees. Work is a social function after all and there are very effective ways of building a motivating context.

The top four motivators are achievement, recognition, the work itself and responsibility. How difficult is it to have employees who want to achieve, take responsibility, enjoy the work and just ask for a thank you every now and again?

Fortunately, there is now a very good roadmap to a solution.

You can develop your knowledge of motivation matters through the many white papers and articles on our website. When you have specific questions, you can ask anonymously through our website or confidentially by email. This is all available pro bono.

Your next step is the motivation management audit. It is a self-completion questionnaire, for which you need to invest four hours to complete and £100+VAT. You receive an analysis of the results, a report of  the development needs and a proposal for improvement which is bespoke to you.

The three step process, free public information, nominal fee private audit and bespoke delivery, ensures you are confident and in control at each stage.

Finally we have a simple satisfaction guarantee. When you get the invoice, send us the annotated guarantee explaining your dissatisfaction and we would repeat the work or waive the debt. We want all our Clients to be enthusiastic too!
