What is important when motivating staff? Hello, I chose topic one “What is important when motivating staff?” I am very interested in this topic. As we all know, many factors should be considered by the managers to motivate staff. First of all, I think financial benefits is the most important to motivate staff. Actually, no one doesn’t like money. the most important goal of working is to earn money, and then to support family. At the same time, financial benefits also can be evidence that how much you have done in working and then make you feel a sense of achievement. Secondly, career development opportunities is another important factor when motivating staff. A position with more improvement space can attracts the staff a lot. Most of the staff are very progressive, ambitious and even aggressive, they want to improve their life standard with a sense of achievement in the future. Apart from these two factors, In my opinion, days off and a long holiday is also important. In this way, the staff can spent more time with their family, and then they can balance life and work, and do both well. Now, to sum up, I have covered three main points in my presentation, financial benefits, career development opportunities as well as days off and holidays can help managers to motivate staff.
