There was a time when economy was not growing as fast as it is now. Employees were considered tools to produce goods and services, and there was only one difference between a good organization and a bad one: money. Organizations offering more money were good, and the ones offering less were not considered to be good.

But with the turning of a new century and with the younger generation taking over from the older ones, the entire scenario changed. The worldwide wave of globalization and liberalization also gave a fillip to the changing mindsets of the people. New studies in psychoanalysis brought forth some surprising facts: employees are not motivated solely by money, and employee behavior is directly related to their attitudes.

A systematic study on the behavioral patterns of employees in different organizations discovered that there can be a drastic change in the productivity of their work if they are given daily inspiration and motivation. Handling business operations became the secondary focus of the managers; the primary one was to tend to the needs of the employees and keep a watch on behavioral patterns.

Corporate bodies started hiring managers who could positively reinforce employee behaviors through the regular doses of motivation that lead to positive outcomes. Motivational trainers acquired great importance as they were given the responsibility to keep the entire business team happy and motivated.

Soon people started realizing the power of working with a motivated mindset. Employers understood this aspect of human psychology: by creating a congenial work environment they can make the work interesting, and by giving good wages, appreciating employees for the work done, and giving them job security, promotions and growth in the organization, they can take their business to the mountains of success. Motivation soon became a wonderful formula of success.

Instead, understanding how motivation impacts employee performance, and understanding how to use motivation to improve performance can be reduced to five master keys. Organizations desiring to improve employee motivation need a system in place that consistently rewards employee achievements. I'm always surprised how few organizations have such a system. However, not all employees respond to the same motivations. Each person has his or her own likes and dislikes, passions, interests and desires. The role of the successful manager is to learn how to identify what motivates each employee, and learn how to leverage those motives to simultaneously fulfill the goals of the organization, as well as the goals of each employee. The five key employee motivation factors include: satisfaction, appreciation, recognition, inspiration and compensation. 1. Employee Motivation By Building Satisfaction In their book "The Service Profit Chain," James Heskett, W. Earl Sasser, and Leonard Schlesinger make a compelling case that regardless your business, the only way to generate sustained profits is to build a work environment that attracts, focuses, and keeps talented employees. In other words, they have to be motivated to show up, get committed and perform at a level of excellence. Employee motivation as it relates to employees satisfaction is vitally important. And, it goes way beyond just a "happier workforce." Why? Because there is an undeniable link between satisfied, motivated employees, and satisfied customers. In other words, focus on creating satisfied employees, focus on employee motivation, and those motivated, satisfied employees will take care of your customers. 2. Employee Motivation...
