Contrary to popular belief, not all employee motivation is based on financial incentives. Here are three tips to help engage an employee(s) when a raise or a promotion isn’t an option (plus there is little to no cost for your business).
- Cross-train – Allow employees to learn skills/tasks from other departments to promote creativity and revitalize employee interest.
- Executive Exposure – Encourage employee leadership in meetings. Challenge employees by giving them more responsibility for a project(s).
- Communicate – Ask for employee ideas. Actively listen then act on the feedback you receive. Employees will feel heard, and your business will grow.
