Many organizations approach the issue of employee engagement and
motivation by tapping into age, gender and other stereotypes.
Motivation and Performance challenges these notions, bringing
together evidence that group differences are often exaggerated and that
getting to the heart of what really motivates individuals is what's most
important. This book is a practical guide to ensuring that organizations
consider all motivators - job security as well as the need for personal
growth - to improve employee satisfaction, boost organizational
productivity and reduce staff turnover.
Underpinned by original research, Motivation and Performance
features case studies from finance, retail, the public and other sectors
to show how the principles of motivating employees apply at all levels
of the organization, not just at the leadership level, and how values
and motivation can be changed and developed. Complete with a framework
for conducting effective visits to front-line locations, it will help HR
professionals ask the right questions, choose whether to implement
external motivation-building programmes and make a real impact on an
employee's desire to progress in the company.
