motivate & rewards

In the name of ALLAH...

what companies do to motivate and reward employees?

-MOTIVATE

If the organization want to motivate the employees,they have to make them feel excited to come to work every day.Firstly,creating a friendly work environment,For example,try to make the environment look as friendly and appealing as possible.Automatically,the employee will be more excited to go to work every day.Secondly,use food incentive.Do not underestimate the power of having some food around the office.People will be much more excited to come to work if they know that there will be some food waiting for them.For example,keep a kitchen stocked with tea and coffee so your employees spend more time hanging around the office instead of hang out for coffee.

-REWARDS

Give a rewards to the employees for hard work.Build a system of rewards is an excellent way to motivate the employees.Whether set up a contest to see who can finish something faster on a certain day or make a competition to see who can generate the most revenue by the of the month.It will keep the employees more motivated to produce solid work,For example,give a small gift,treat them with lunch,doing their work for them and etc.Recognize the employee on an individual basis.If they have done something truly outstanding,the the employer should take the time to let them know.Try take the time to pull a specific person into the office or to write an email or a note along with that person check,to let him know that his work is truly outstanding.

I give an example of organization where are nearby with my house,Inokom Corporation.The way they give motivate and rewards for their worker are always provide a opportunity for their employees to share experience and knowledge to sustain the work.Besides that,the company have sent a team from each department to participate in any competition,for example Sustainability Day last year.This is the way to create opportunity for quality environment practitioners in sharing ideas,experiences and achievement towards improvement and seeking the best work culture to improve organizational performance and productivity.If the company gain a lot of revenue,the employee will be given an extra bonus.

That's all from me.many thanks(^_^)

Chapter 11 : Managing Internal Operations

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...

To implementing a new or different strategy,the managers need to identify the resource requirements of each new strategic initiative,consider whether the current pattern of resource allocation and the budgets.When a company alters its strategy,managers should review existing policies and operating procedures.Well conceived policies and procedures aid the task of strategy executing by:

  •   Provide top down guidance about how certain things need to be done
  •    Help enforce consistency in how strategy critical activities are performed
  • Promote the creation of a work climate that facilitates good strategy execution


Benchmarking ,best practice adoption, business process re-engineering,total quality management,and six sigma programs are important process management tools for promoting better strategy execution.
Strategy supportive motivational practices and reward systems are powerful management tools for gaining employee commitment and focusing their attention on the strategy execution goals.
Positive motivational practices generally work better than negative ones but there is a place for both.Other than that,financial rewards provide high powered incentives,non monetary incentives are also important.
