Many times my clients ask me to teach them what motivates employees. So I put together some thoughts and came up with a strategy using a survey.
Here is a simple questionnaire that will help you identify what really motivates your employees. Once you have had your employees complete the questionnaire, sit down and go over it with them. Clarify what it is they mean by the areas they prioritized as being most important.
| Name: ______________________________________Title: _______________________________________
Please rank the following factors as they relate to your performing at your best in your position. Assign a number 1 to the most important, a number 2 to the next important, a number 3 to the next most important, until you have ranked all 16 of the job motivation factors.
