Human resource is very important to a company. So how to motivate employees is very important, doing it well can make company more productive, or would make the company’s ineffective and inefficient. It is not very difficult to motivate employees, if we do these below.

1.Clearly Define Your Expectations When employing new team members, brief them properly on the business and how you operate. When you make employees feel that they have an important role to play in the business, they will feel more valued. When they buy into the vision you have for the business, they will feel self-motivated to do the best they can to help the business grow.

2.Be Reasonable in Terms of Working Hours Even though working hours are regulated by law, many corporate companies have a culture that if you don't work overtime, you won't get ahead. You will have happier and more productive employees if you stick to reasonable working hours. Letting employees know that you understand their needs and appreciate their efforts will go a long way to keeping them motivated.

3.Simplify the Work Process Today, with the many software systems available, it is possible to run an almost paperless office. Put systems in place that help employees fulfill their tasks and responsibilities more efficiently. Online faxing works off a fax server and allows faxes to be sent directly from the employer's personal computer. This saves time for the person sending the fax and saves money for the business owner.

4.Reward Work Efforts Salaries and wages are often expected by employees and therefore not really seen as reward for their work. Unfortunately, many employers feel that a paycheck is thanks enough and that they do not need to acknowledge work efforts in any other way. When employees feel successful, they tend to put more effort into their work and are more motivated to do well.

5.Provide Employees with Opportunities to Grow Sending employees on training courses benefits both your employees and the business. When you train employees, you are saying that you see potential in them that is worth developing. This can help to keep them motivated in the workplace and always on the lookout for opportunities to learn.
