Motivating employees and keeping their morals high is not an employers job only. Schadenfreude is a real thing unfortunately. Don’t believe me? Remember the last time you laughed at someone who slipped and fell.
We humans have tendencies to laugh at others’ misery. In some cases, one person’s win is also seen as everyone else’s loss. It seldom happens that everyone celebrates one person’s success. The management also believed that if one person got a reward, that would motivate others as well.Ĭontrarily, the monetary awards often made a situation worse. The old school thinking has been that if someone has demonstrated good behaviour, or has done some good work, offer them some money and they will be happy. Traditionally, organisations have been using monetary awards for rewarding or recognising employees. The Factory School of Thinking for Reward and Recognition:
What can we do so that we can help our colleagues, peers and friends motivated? In such circumstances where people are dealing with heightened emotions, keeping their motivation high becomes difficult and even more important.
Those who are still working might be dealing with anxiety, stress and panic and they may not even know about it. That also means that our motivations have taken a hit too. Mostly in an unfavourable way unfortunately. There have been natural calamities such as floods, Bush fires, typhoons, earthquakes and as if those things weren’t enough, we are now dealing with a virus that doesn’t seem to stop creating havoc.Ī suffering economy means that people’s livelihoods have been affected. We’re living in a world where economy has been constantly affected due to one thing after another.
