The success of a company is highly dependent on the employee’s performance. Companies can motivate workers to do better by giving them incentives and avoiding criticism.
Giving incentives to employees is one way to enhance productivity and help the company attain more success. Many employees feel better and are willing to do more when given incentives such as, bonuses, free vacations and discounts. As a result of how good they feel, they tend to work harder and do their utmost to ensure that the company meets more of its target and achieve success. For example, a study by Britain revealed that incentives help to stimulate effort, productivity and participation in workers.
Furthermore, companies should avoid criticizing workers as this can hurt their pride and discourage them from doing better in the future. Commendations can go a long way, even when a job is not properly done by an employee. This can motivate them to work harder and achieve desired outcome. However, criticism can make workers act from a state of fear, which could result in more failures in their given tasks. For example, a research at the University of Cambridge revealed that people that are often criticized tend to develop low self-esteem and perform poorly in given tasks.
In conclusion, to attain more successes, companies should indulge in giving employees incentives and avoid criticizing them, as this can help stimulate productivity which is crucial for goal achievement.
