Employee motivation can be quite a challenge. The decision on how committed an employee will be towards the organization, division or team, depends entirely on the individual. Therefore, the first step to employee motivation is to engage with each individual. Find out what makes him/her tick. The purpose of this article is to know what to look for when you engage with the individual. A common mistake of many leaders is to apply the same formula for motivation to every employee. This might work with some staff members, but others might not be inspired by it at all. So where should your focus be?

The performance pyramid can provide some wonderful guidance to know what to look for when you engage with your employees. **End Summary** Topics: Employee motivation]]> Motivating employees]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Derik Mocke (B.Sc) is an energetic, purpose driven, educated, present moment, emotionally aware, fun loving professional life coach, group coach, motivator, father, husband and marathon runner.
