Increase in Employees Salaries Cannot Guarantee Maximum Productivity
INCREASE IN EMPLOYEES SALARIES CANNOT GUARANTEE MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
Any organization that wants to retain and achieve maximum productivity, from its employees may need to impress them in term of ownership which will make them have a sense of belonging.
“Every body really wants to own a piece of something, if you give them ownership interest in the establishment, that will enhance their involvement, and this will also translate into higher productivity. It may not translate immediately to money, but the fact that he feels he part of t he business, will make him have a sense of fulfillment”.
Employers must consistently strive to provide a healthy, safe and attractive work environment with incentives such as good insurance polices vacation and rewarding retirement plans for their employees, rather than enticing them with big salaries with little long time reward.
Rather than inducing staff with increases in salaries, organizations that want genuine motivation, need to look at the job to find out if it really provides the potentials for on the job growth and to find out if the workers assigned to do the job derive some levels of recognition while carryout their various duties.
Recognizing good performance any time with just ‘I thank you’ can be enough to get the motivational engine working. Acknowledging excellent work every time it appears will also help to push employees to want to do more.
Salary increase motivate employee when it comes to performance.
“When you increase someone’s salary he appreciates it, but it does not impact productivity. If you want a better performance from you employee, the first way to achieve that is to get them trained”.
Conclusively, motivation is not entirely a function of salary increase, employers should be concerned about how to make employees happy on the job they do. To make them happy, employers must create a line of work schedule that spells out modalities for promotions from one level to another.
Every employer must strive to create a level playing ground for their employees. Any organization where workers perceive that some group of workers are favored more than others, no matter what they earn, they are bound to be demotivated.
