When you ask employees what makes their work attractive, the number one factor is usually not the money, but the superior's appreciation and recognition of their work. After consulting many personnel experts, owners and some brave low paid employees, we have summed up six ways to motivate low paid employees without spending money.
1. Cancel the "outstanding staff of the month" selection activity this activity is of little significance. If the right of selection is in the hands of the managers, the employees will think that it is a "political" activity and lose interest. If it is based on work achievements, the outstanding ones will always be those; if they win prizes in turn, they will not arouse any enthusiasm, because opportunities are equal. But if you can find a way to get customers to give employees some extra rewards, the effect will be very different. For example, if a customer saves a lot of promotional hats, you can arrange them to give each employee participating in the project one, which will make employees feel that his work has added value. When people ask him, "Hey, how's your job at so and so?" He would say, "the salary is very low, but sometimes something is given out."
2. Oral praise can not be ignored for people whose interests are above everything, oral praise may be "only listen to the stairs, no one comes up", but for employees who pursue progress, it means encouragement. Oral praise is considered to be the most effective incentive method in today's enterprises.
3. Keep a positive attitude the employees who are motivated are those who have problems and ideas. Although their ideas are not always practical, as a manager, you should encourage a hundred schools of thought to contend and let a hundred flowers blossom, and let them say that only in this way can the enterprise be full of vitality. If you have a positive and guiding attitude towards employees, they will take the initiative to share the company's worries.
4. Pay attention to body language, frown, stare, and direct. All of these will be seen as the power and control of the boss, rather than the cautious leader that employees should rely on. The result will undoubtedly arouse hostility and make cooperation difficult.
5. Managers don't have to do everything by themselves. "One low paid employee said," the boss once said to me, "all these things need to be packed in boxes before the afternoon, labeled, packed in containers and transported to the garage. When you're done, there are other things you need to help." Then he walked away. This makes me feel that I am an important part of the process. The boss believes that I can do well, so I am encouraged to prove that I can do well and not let him down. "
6. Don't always be serious if the management staff can smile but remain silent about the occasional small violations, it can also create a healthy and harmonious atmosphere within the company, making the employees feel that the management is humane and live and work in peace and contentment.
