While manager engagement is low globally, it is still higher than non-managers’ engagement. Many managers report feeling anger, sadness and worry daily, and they experience as much stress and loneliness as non-managers. One major concern is that managers are more likely than those they manage to be looking for new job opportunities. How are we engaging managers and employees? What can we do to move from surviving to thriving? #selfawareness #selfregulation #stressmanagement #lifebalance #motivation #culture #boundaries #askforhelp #breathe #prioritization #createspace #coaching #feedback #energymanagement

Where does responsibility for employee motivation lie? Short answer...the responsibility is shared. 🤔 But is this discussed and clarified in the workplace? Definitely not enough!! When roles and responsibilities around motivation are unclear, there can be a tendency to blame others when things go wrong. We see employees resenting their managers or the organization for not providing adequate support or opportunities for growth. We see managers resenting employees for what they perceive as a lack of enthusiasm or engagement. 💡 Establishing a clear understanding of each party's responsibilities towards motivation can help in creating a more harmonious and productive work environment 💡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞: Mangers are usually well aware that they play a role in providing extrinsic motivators like promotion and bonus's but they are often less aware that their role does not stop there. Organizations are struggling with employee disengagement partly because managers do not understand the concept of motivation or realize that they also have a responsibility to set up the right conditions for employee intrinsic motivation. Managers can't directly intrinsically motivate people...and this part they tend to understand. But often, they make the mistake of thinking that the responsibility must therefore lie with the employee... ...in reality, managers can set up the conditions for intrinsic motivation to grow through their actions including recognizing the unique motivators for people, providing feedback and recognition, facilitating opportunities for growth and development, and creating an environment where employees feel valued. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞: Managers need to be supported by the organization- the CEO and senior leaders. These people are responsible for provide training for managers on the principles of intrinsic motivation and ensure they have the resources to recognize employees' internal drivers, support autonomy, provide growth opportunities, and connect work to a larger purpose. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥'𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞: It must be crystal clear to people that they have responsibility for understanding their own motivations, strengths, and values, and seeking roles that align with these personal attributes. They need to know FROM DAY ONE there is an expectation that they take initiative for their own development and communicate their needs and preferences to their managers. Why does ANY of this matter?? It matters because intrinsic motivation is what leads to higher 🔘 satisfaction 🔘 wellbeing 🔘 engagement 🔘 learning and 🔘 quality of work Basically all of the things that both people and organizations are striving for!! #motivation #intrinsicmotivation #leadership #employeeengagement #managers #leadershipdevelopment Image Credit: Ryan & Deci 2000 and https://lnkd.in/efrtDFMN

Excellent post, worth reading. Motivation is a shared responsibility, the Manager, the Organization and the Individual. Key are self-awareness and a job content that is in line with the individual motives and attributes. Too often organizations/managers focus on extrinsic motivation drivers, while intrinsic ones make the real difference.

Building a positive work environment takes more than just good intentions. One powerful way to boost employee morale? Cultivate a genuine sense of belonging. Team-building activities are great, but they need to be inclusive and meaningful. Think beyond typical icebreakers. Virtual game nights, collaborative projects, or even simple coffee chats can build stronger connections and trust among your team. Another impactful strategy? Empower your team with REAL autonomy. Trust your employees to make decisions and lead initiatives. It shows you believe in their abilities and boosts their confidence.

Talent may be hard to find, but motivating them is a challenge in itself. It's the dilemma of the modern manager: he has to ensure that his A-team is not only physically present in the office, but also fully engaged and motivated to perform at their best. https://lnkd.in/gJfjwYAQ #PerformanceManagement #Employeemotivation #EmployeeTurnover #Employeeretention #employeefeedback
