The performance of an organizations associates is key to its success. As a manager at Riordan Manufacturing, it is essential to know your associates and how to motivate them to achieve optimum performance. Recently we have begun to assess our associates closely and determine what methods we will use to motivate the associates individually.
In order to understand the methods for motivation, we will review the results of the recent assessments. There were many similarities between the associates who took the assessments and their engagement levels. Their levels of satisfaction were also similar and proved a negative disposition. They all showed a high disinterest in their current roles and were not receiving any satisfaction from the work they do currently.
Although their results were similar, I think that there may be some different strategies to use to motivate them individually. In regards to Barb, she tends to have a higher sense of job gratification than the others. She is a hard worker and tends to push ahead on her own without getting too concerned with her peers and their work. The self-efficacy strategy will be most appropriate for Barb. It will allow her to focus on the organizations goals and better understand how her contributions contribute. This will allow for some self-gratification by being able to see the way her work impacts the goals of the company. We will also be able to work on how we allow her work to be more aligned with different goals throughout the department and not just focus on individual metrics. It will be beneficial to create goals specific to Barb. This can help drive higher confidence in help her to drive for success. She is typically motivated by challenge and her desire to outperform her peers. This will help to achieve optimum performance as well as meet and potentially exceed the goals of her role.
