The Latin root word for motivation is “move”. So motivation is the basic idea of ‘action’ – ‘movement’ in some direction. Creating a motivating work environment is not always easy. But with a motivated work environment, it is easy to see. In a motivated work environment, cooperation is evident. There is obvious respect amongst peers, management, and customers. There is a clear sense of team spirit with little to no absenteeism. In a motivated work environment, employees value their customers / members, rather than viewing them as a nuisance.
With this type of environment, deadlines are easily met and people are having fun! An engaged and dynamic leadership team creates this environment. Managers must work hard at keeping the work environment motivating for the staff.
