What strategy can keep your staff motivated consistently?

Step 1: Clearly define your vision. Make sure that your vision is provided as a road-map for your employees, and that they know each twist and turn.

Step 2: Give employees what they want and need. Don’t just assume that each and every one of your employees has all the tools, training, and support from supervisors they need –check in with them personally and find out.

Step 3:  Communicate well and often. Training sessions, memos, newsletters, FAQs, and regular meetings can all be used to present your vision to your employees. Make sure to ask questions, and if they are confused, redesign the way the information reaches them.

Clearly set goals. Open communication. Strong leaders in the teams. Incorporating people's skills and strengths. Transparency and positive environment. Zero tolerance to gossips and destructive practices. Respect

Thanks for your invitation;

In a few words, we can use to apply the strategy of "Management by Objectives", as a mandatory in motivating the organization's staff, despite of the type of motivations form itself, i,e. in a form of bonuses, promotions, or any other benefits.  

Thanks for inviting me to answer this question :

There are lots of factors that can help you to retain and keep motivated, all your employees :

1) You need to understand what is the ultimate Goal of each employee in their respective life.

2) What is the driving force ?

3) What do they need the most- is it money, job security, Job enrichment, Job enhancement, Freedom, Promotion, Position, Responsibility etc etc...

4) Always have one to one discussion since in life priorities keeps on changing .

5) Involve them in decision making process.

6) Show them how important they are to you and your organization.

Thanks

Agree with the answer given by Mouaz and i would like to add ; it is simply "THANK YOU" word alongside with bonuses based on my staff - team achievements 

Oftentimes, staff in the a company are treated like a mere worker only hired to do identified tasks for them in return of their remuneration.

However, staff are like precious jewels that needs to be taken cared of since they're the human machinery that will give life to company's realization of the targeted aims for a specific period.

There's no such as definite, rather flexibility is needed in managing a staff to be continuously motivated.

As the staff are continuously aware of the company's mission, vision, objectives, core values, and they need to be aware of the company's target so they need target setting.

This can be done through regular meeting, where agenda needs to be clearly identified and known to   the staff and at the same time during the meeting or target setting, they can be ask about their suggestions and opinion how a work target can be done or produce positive result..In this case, the staff's involvement and worth are encourage, having them feel they're a part of the work family. In fact, no one will hire someone who will not be a asset in the company.

Follow-through is needed to monitor the progress of work.

Staff are adults, , so as the senior or manager.

As the work development progress is tracked and monitored, a head or manager may see one staff who needs to be coached to improve. Coaching is merely talking to a staff or staffs how to better improve, but this is done in private dialogue. As this is on process, there should be feedbacking.

Remember, adult needs to be professionally mature, so are you, being the head or manager,

Don't forget to give an encouraging remarks or affirmation statement, smile and the like...Even after talking to a needs of improvement staff.Complimentary statement, in oral or written or any form of appreciation of the staff work should be emphasized to better keep an excellent staff and improve a staff.

You can hold a simple recognition or appreciation party every quarter. and annually.

Promote your outstanding aspiring staff, rather than to hire a new one(except if you're considering an exceptional one :-)

Healthy Communication  boosts any type of relationship, so much more at work..Whether it is negative topic, deal with it in a constructive way!

Be sensitive and flexible, at times, you can with the music as long as each staff knows limits-and this is done during the orientation of mission,, vision, objectives, core values. Don;t forget their job description and organizational flow chart so they knew the process.

Remember, respect is gain whenever there is a working communication process along side.

Everyone will be motivated, when the staff knew their boss listens at them, with a compassionate and passionate heart.

It's imperative that your staff remains constantly motivated. In order to achieve that, you should always set short-term goals along with the long-term ones, so as to get a chance to keep your staff under continuous evaluation. Meeting these short-term goals could keep them in a constant increase as far as their productivity is concerned, while giving them incentives (financial, career progression, leave days etc) for smaller goals achieved, along with the annual ones, should keep them in their toes for the long run.

I hope I was helpful. 

1- define individual targets and goals

2- communicate simple and effective

3- keep in touch with them

4- implement incentive programs

I always use this acronym PRIDE to teach motivation :

People -  Make sure their human needs are well taken care of.  Needs like salary on time, breaks, rests, vacations, rights, etc.  Make your employees feel they are wanted and their inputs matter even if you dont take it.  

Respect - Respect the individual for what he or she is.  Every person has a separate strength and only a leader can know how to tap his full potential.  Most of the time, it is not the employee who is the problem but the superiors who do not know how to use him or her

Involve - Inclusion and COnsultation is the key.  Involve your team in your day to day decisions as and when you can.  More brains are always better than one brain thinking.  Make sure he is aware of the goals and vision that you have, if you want him to help you get there.

Develop - Develop and invest in your staff.  find out the star performers and keep on pushing them to a new edge once they achieve the last one.  this will shine them and give them more self confidence.  develop them and give them a career path.  i love it when i see someone growing in front of my eyes.  a lot of your personal time will be required so be prepared.

Engage - Engage your staff.  All the above will actually engaage the staff and he or she will never leave you.  I personally feel that most people are happy with the above4 and not only with a big hefty salary pack.  Everything counts, work environment, work culture, work stations, everything, team building exercises, etc.

We are humans.  Anything that makes me happy and feel llike coming back to work, thats motivation for me.

give them challenges everyday , motivate them and at the end after the complete their target reward them. it should be done once in a while other wise you might spoil them. 

Dear Tariq,

Thanks for the invite and my response is : "True sense of belongingness"

If we can make them feel that they sincerely belong to us and vice-versa as you would do for your valued customers, you will most certainly have highly motivated team with sheer commitment.

To make them feel this way you would do all that you must to keep with their confidence, faith and believe in the organization.

We sometime over work  in keeping external customers by our side and in this race we tend to not pay equal attention to our primary and internal customers - "our team members" They need to feel important too and well recognized and rewarded for their loyalty and services to the organization 

Warm regards,
