How to Motivate your IT Team

February 17, 2022 by Sophie Donais Leave a Comment

Employees may lose motivation over time leading to a decrease in work efficiency. This declined motivation can cause the company’s productivity rates to go downhill. The implementation of incentives may improve employees’ health and drive. Happy and healthy employees make for satisfied managers. Incentivizing properly provides a motivating and energized work environment which leads to a successful company. Here are a couple pointers below on how to motivate your employees to improve productivity and company success. 

Set Individual Standards

Setting quotas may be just what you need to improve the motivation of your team. Working and being held up to a standard is a key motivator for everyone to complete tasks. When setting a quota it must be challenging but not unreachable in order to maintain motivation. Employees must maintain confidence in their abilities to reach their quotas. Quotas can work to measure employees productivity levels and help employees take accountability for unfinished work. When setting quotas, it is important to review each employee separately to find the rate at which they work. realistic Individual goals and requirements can then be set for the following month that are greater than what they are currently producing. With company standards in place, employees are motivated by the fact they may be rewarded or penalized based on their work productivity.

Facilitate Friendly Competition 

Naturally we all want to be the best at what we do or at least on the same level as those around us. This translates into the workplace where creating friendly competition for employees can positively affect their productivity levels. Providing a visual representation of each employee’s sales or project milestone completions can enhance motivation. This may be used in combination with rewards for the top performers to push them to their full potential. Rewards can be as simple as a gift card or you can get creative with them. Competition allows for employees to visualize the work and progression it takes to get a promotion or raise within the company.  

Implement Incentives

Offering rewards for accomplishments in the workplace can improve the motivation of your team. Recognizing quality work gives your employees the feeling that they are of value to the company. Depending on the nature of the project, these rewards can be large or small, material or cash. However, incentives must be implemented properly in order to be effective. Different types of incentives can be used for all the stages of a project. For example, when the first milestone is met you may have an incentive for the top performer on that team. This could be small, something as simple as a gift card to their favorite restaurant. Then the rewards may increase in value as the project progresses towards greater milestones for optimal motivation of the team.
