What is motivation?
Motivation is the promise of a reward in exchange for effort. Like the donkey that keeps walking to get to the carrot on the stick, it's a continuous process. But you don't have to treat your employee like a jackass. No matter what upper management says.
How can you motivate effectively with integrity?
Integrity means you do what you say you will, and the message remains the same. It's not switching directions every time the next crisis comes along. It's not holding out a carrot and then replacing it with an onion. Your employees know when integrity has been broken. And once you lose their trust it becomes very difficult to win them back.

Your employees will feel useful.
Since you and your supervisors will be better equipped with knowledge to handle a wider variety of situations, your employees will be better managed and they will perform better. And everyone likes to feel that they are working smarter, making a difference in the day-to-day work activity.
Your employees will feel confident.
Your employees will feel less stressed over the economy, therefore being able to work more efficiently and effectively. They will understand what causes workplace violence and how to minimize the causes and effects to have a safe workday. They will feel that their concerns are being addressed. They will be happier and work better with each other.
Your employees will thank you for it.
Take another minute to think of how your employees view the human resource function. Do they think of human resources as a rule making, policy enforcing bureaucracy? Do they come to you for advice, or run from you as you constrain? With the HR Fact Finder newsletter, you can deliver valuable information to them each month and change their view of the human resources department. They will thank you for it.
