10 ways to Motivate your Employees without Raising their Pay

1. Recognition/Attention.

 When your employees accomplish something they have achieved something. Your recognition is appreciation for that achievement


2. Applause.

 A form of recognition yes, but a very specific form. Physically applaud your people by giving them a round of applause for specific achievements. Where? When? The answer is wherever and whenever. At meetings or company-sponsored social gatherings, a luncheon, or in the office. At the end of a shift, before a shift, and whenever possible in the middle of a shift.


3. One-on-One Coaching.

 Coaching is employee development. Your only cost is time. Time means you care. And remember your people don't care how much you know... until they know how much you care.

4. Training

" Training Sessions. These should be led by you or by a supervisor with help from specific employees who show a particular strength in the skills taught.

5. Career Path.


 Your employees need to know what is potentially ahead for them, what opportunities there are for growth. This issue is a sometimes forgotten ingredient as to the importance it plays in the overall motivation of people.

6. Job Titles.

 When you talk about job titles you are tapping the self-esteem of people. How someone feels about the way they are perceived in the workforce is a critical component to overall attitude and morale.

7. Good Work Environment.
A recent industry study shows just how inaccurate your results can be. Employers were asked to rank what they thought motivated their people
and then employees were asked to rank what really did motivate them.

Employers felt "working conditions" was a nine (or next to last) in terms of importance. What did the employees say? Number two! Working conditions are very important to the way employees feel about where they work.

8. On-the-Spot Praise.

 This too is associated with recognition but the key here is timing. When there is a reason for praising someone don't put it off for any reason! Promptness equals effectiveness. Praise people when the achievement is fresh on everyone's mind.

9. Leadership Roles.

 Give your people leadership roles to reward their performance and also to help you identify future promotable people

10. Team Spirit.

 Have a picture taken on your entire staff (including you!), have it enlarged and hang it in a visible spot. Most people like to physically see themselves as part of a group or team.
