Motivate carefully, make small motivational improvements
The managers have to work carefully with the motivation. They usually lack this skill and competency and they have to be mentored by Human Resources. It is the role of Human Resources to advice the managers how to carefully motivate their employees and how to keep them motivated in the long term view.
The managers have to understand the member of the teams and they have to know the individual motivators for the employees. Each employee is unique and there is no motivation tool, which can work for all of him or her. The manager has to find a good proportion of different motivational tools to keep the whole team happy. The team can be easily de-motivated by the over usage of a particular motivational tool.
The role of HR in the motivation is about the discussion with the manager about the wide range of the motivational tools to be used in the team and their right timing. The motivation has to be used carefully and the motivation has to bring a constant performance of the employees and it needs a clever usage by the manager.
The HR Professional has to lead the manager during the selection of the right motivational tools to be selected for the team. The HR Professionals should be skilled and trained in the motivation theories as they can discuss the theoretical background and they can advice the manager in the selection.
The managers are sometimes nervous as they believe, they do not motivate enough the employees. But the employees do not need much, they just need to know, they are fully recognized by the manager, which motivates the employees most.
