Do you know what motivates your employees? According to a recent survey, money is not the most motivating factor for employees in the workplace — it’s their peers. Is that the case for your staff? In this newly revised edition of 365 Ways to Motivate and Reward Your Employees Every Day — With Little or No Money, we have new surveys, techniques, and ideas that will help you figure out how to motivate your employees. In this second edition, we discuss the different motivators — internal and external — that get your employees up and going every day. A recent study from the Society of Human Resource Management found that both materialistic and non-materialistic factors play a large part in employee motivation. Things like recognition, rewards, and a good, respectful senior management team are just a few of the recommendations you will read about. By book’s end, you should know how to distinguish between those factors and apply them when your employees feel a little more sluggish than usual.
