The Recipe for Motivated Staff
The
tough globalized market pushes companies to seek highly motivated and committed
staff members who give almost more than their best. Unfortunately, this doesn’t
fit very well with the contemporary employee mind-set.
Though
employees are highly motivated to be actively committed, if only in their
chosen occupational field, they no longer trust manipulative enticements by
their employers that aim to squeeze out the last drop of their best
performance. They no longer feel loyal
to the company as the company treats them as interchangeable resources. Employees demand more and higher acknowledgements,
adequate to their personality. Employees
nowadays overall want to be recognised as unique individuals who deserve
personal relations in their workplace (2)
These
differences in expectations produce disappointment, dissatisfaction, suffering
and anger on both sides. But how do we
solve this problem when there already exist a multitude of motivational reward
systems that should work efficiently but don’t? (1)
This
is a global dilemma. It is affecting
every level of the workplace, national economies and the world economy. This ongoing dis-ease between employer and
employee is having a devastating impact.
The
LD / WD approach is to assist Companies to see the uniqueness, dignity, choice
and responsibility of each of its Staff Members. Aligned with Company role, is the role of the
Employee to find their Meaning, Purpose and Fulfillment in their
workplace. The combination puts both
parties on a very different footing and therefore both get to experience
different, better and more sustainable results.
LD
/ WD see people as holistic – the PQ-EQ-SQ approach of body, mind and
soul. This inclusivity approach allows
ROI to climb dramatically from the researched report of 12% for traditional
training and psychology – to staggering numbers of improved engagement,
performance and contribution.
