As a business owner or manager, it is so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day work. It becomes difficult to take a moment, take a deep breath, look around, and reflect on what your team needs. So many owners think, “Well, I’m paying them to do it, that should be enough,” but the truth is, it isn’t. In today’s climate and with the shortage of individuals working in the trades, it is vital that managers think about motivating their team and rewarding them, or they risk losing that team entirely.
If you’re a smart manager and you recognize the above statements, then you have to start by thinking about why you want to keep your team motivated. Aside from the fact that it will reduce your turnover, happy employees speak positively about the business, and that gives you a competitive edge in the industry. These happy employees will increase productivity and keep your clients as happy as they are.
