1. Be a “good” employer.

A “good” employer is one who sets clear expectations to employees, including what is to be done, when it is to be done by, and where it goes after they complete their responsibilities. Within these expectations, you need to set clear boundaries, demonstrate healthy leadership and provide sound direction. This means spelling out rules, regulations, policies and procedures. While you can usually accomplish this by creating a comprehensive employee manual, a good employer or manager will also use the “personal touch” by talking with employees in group and one-on-one settings.   Whatever expectations you set, make sure they are consistent with all employees. Include such things as clocking in early, break times, lunch hours, etc. For example, is it acceptable to clock in early and leave work early? Are breaks mandatory? Will an employee be “docked” if they consistently take too long for lunch? The more issues and expectations you outline, the fewer problems arise, which leads to productive workers.

2. Help employees to feel valued.

Be encouraging to your employees and offer praise when appropriate. Thank employees for doing a good job and let them know that you value them. Should something go wrong or someone makes a mistake, don’t “punish” the person. Rather, talk to the person, teach the correct procedures, and offer encouragement and further teaching when needed. Remember that punishing people only makes things worse in that the employee may become angry and bitter and may want to sabotage their work to get back at the company. If errors continue after correction, then you may need to evaluate that person to make sure he or she is a good fit for the job.

As an employer, you have an excellent opportunity to make a difference in your employees’ lives. This may mean a smile, asking how their family is, or asking about their interests or problems. If you sense that someone is depressed, help that person get the necessary resources, as employees with depression have higher absenteeism, increased health problems, and decreased performance. Remember that we are all humans working together to get through life. We need to care about each other to get the best results.

3. Create a productive atmosphere.

The physical layout of the office is important to maximizing productivity. People need enough room to work, the correct supplies/materials, and a comfortable and pleasant environment. Make sure all equipment is designed ergonomically so that it positively motivates workers by helping them with their needs to do the work.

Thank you for your invite. The ability to keep all the employees enthusiastic and competitive is the art and skill of a good leader. My experience is besides offering financial incentives, holidays and fringe benefits, it is the demonstrative recognition of the contribution, boosting self esteem and providing secured work environment are the effective tools of earning loyalty of the employees that would in turn keep them motivated and productive. During my over 20 years of experience this has worked. Theoretically there are loads of suggestions listed by other experts, please follow their formulas if they fit into your system. Good Luck.

Focus on them - all employees want progression.

Make them feel appreciated. 

Offer incentives (not just cash bonuses) for performance.

Be a good employer and make people want to work for you. 

Focus on the team balance and get the *right* candidate, not necessarily the best.

Make sure staff have a good work/life balance.

As an employer, make sure you are accountable and responsible, and offer clear communication.

Thanks for Invitation:

 

After any recreation or group discussion or open question and answer sessions employees usually get motivated and this impact can be seen for a week or two, but for them to be always be motivated.

 

There are times when employees feel low, this can only be done by regular brain storming sessions and by always using encouraging and motivation words, To be positive one should never forget the goals which he/she has to achieve and always thinks about the gain or respect or what ever he/she will get only after achieving the goal.

 

One should also have great sense of humor because there are often people around you, who tries to makes comments on you or try to distract you from your goal, So you should generally reply them with good words or by giving smile, and usually slowly after some time they becomes your friends. but when they came to know that you feel irritated by their comments than they enjoy seeing you irritated/angry, so don't let them know that your are being irritated when they makes comments.on you,

So basically having great sense of humor helps every one to be productive.

 

We can write a book on this,

 

Hope you will appreciate my answer.
