As I expressed before, employees are the basis of any company, every activity and process start with the employee performance that is the reason why managers and executives have to care about personnel, motivation and the ambiance inside the business.

I used to think that motivation in a company was not a big issue, that it was easy to manage, but I realized that when someone goes out to the business world, motivation is complex issue for directors, they have to be innovative with this topic taking into account that diversity is important, when employees received always the same it won´t be as effective as it used to be.

In order to implement good motivation activities it is fundamental to know what kind of people is the company working with, also the maturity level of the company in motivation. In a paper written by Stephen Flynn “can you directly motivate employees? Exploring the myth “it is argued that before motivating employees, managers have to take a look in the maturity level, there are four different levels that help the company to know its capacities and its aims toward motivation.  This will allow manager to deal in a better way with motivation. Taking into consideration the employees, the maturity levels in motivation and the companies goal it will be easier to motivate people looking for the company benefits and achievement of its goals.

In my personal opinion, I think that the main issue in motivation is communication, being alert on what people inside the company say will help to know better the ambiance inside the company, new things and ideas can come up and in the end will be reflected in the achievement of goals. Integrations, rewards, recognitions and reunions are one of the things that a manager could do in order to motivate people and also a good way to get in touch with them to know what they thing and say, in that way directors could have an idea of what employees are expecting from the place they work in.
