Employee Motivation: Key To Company Success

Picture this: You’re the owner of a seat manufacturing company that produces seating for wheelchairs, auditoriums, and cars. You have approximately 100 employees, 90 percent of which are upholsters, sewers, gluers, and material cutters. The other 10 percent are office staff. Basically, you have a diverse group of employees, each with different jobs, concerns, and needs. The big question is: How do you motivate all of these people?

Treat your employees well and your company will succeed:
If you are a smart business owner, you will realize that employee motivation at the workplace is essential to a company’s success. If your employees don’t respect their bosses, their jobs, and their company, then your business will not thrive.

Your employees must WANT to work at your company. They must have pride in their jobs, as well as the product that they are making. This about it this way: If your employees truly believe in what they are doing, they are most likely going to output a high-quality product in as quickly a manner as possible. In the end, your customers will benefit from this. Your company will benefit from this. And your employees will the benefit from this. Success is truly a chain reaction that begins and ends with employee motivation.

Put yourself in the shoes of your employees:
So how do you get your diverse mix of employees motivated? Why would anyone want to wake up at 7 AM five days a week to sew material to make seats for wheelchairs?

Would you get up to do this if, hanging above your department, you saw photos of the disabled people using the seats you stitched? Would you get up to do this if you were able to voice your ideas for new seats to your boss and to the whole company in weekly meetings? Would you get up to do this if you were given pay incentives or other types of rewards for the number or quality grade of seats you got done in a month?

If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then you would be considered a motivated employee. At least one of these things would have challenged you and would have given you reason to come in to work.

Think about some key points that enhance employee motivation:

-Every employee wants to feel appreciated in some way.

-Every employee wants to be given some sort of proof that what he or she did bettered the world, the community, or just the company in some sort of way.

-Every employee wants to feel that his or her opinion is at least heard – whether or not it is actually used. Having the opportunity to voice an opinion and bring new ideas to the table is a positive thing for both an employee and a company.

-Every employee wants to be rewarded for a job well done. It is understandable that large raises and elaborate prizes cannot always be available. But sometimes a simple acknowledgement from an owner or a boss can mean a great deal.

As a business owner, or as a boss, understand that one wants to work hard only to end up feeling unappreciated in the end. In a corporate world where money and power appear to mean success, it is key to remember that without good employee motivation at the basic level nothing else would be possible.

Emotional Problems Caused By Snoring

If snoring inflicts physical problems to the snorer, the opposite happens to the person affected by what the snorer does. Aside from stress, emotional problems start reeling in on the person who stays up all night enduring the noise coming from his or her neighbor.

We all know that emotional problems can cause as much damage as the physical problem can and it isn’t easy to deal with it as well. First on the list of emotional breakdown is the lack of sleep at night. If this problem persists every night, it would be a complete turmoil to the person who endures snoring. Depression and anxiety in the morning may attack and these two things could lead to short temper, misunderstanding and lack of empathy. A person lacking sleep gets grumpy the next day, so just imagine what would become of a person who gets sleepless nights just because of snoring.

The next thing to happen could affect marital relationship for couples. For roommates, it could also become a heated topic each time it is discussed. The snorer could become heavily upset by the revelation of his roommate which could also eventually lead to disagreement.

The factors already mentioned above seem too much for a person who has to endure nightly snore and sleeplessness. But once these factors accumulate, the problem isn’t as easy as how snoring is usually perceived by many.

Emotional problems also lead to unproductiveness at work. Sleeping is important for good memory condition and without it; tasks at work couldn’t be easily handled. This, again, could lead to added unstable emotional state, and a depressing one at that. Feelings of frustration, disappointment, exhaustion, helplessness and low self esteem can all happen and these emotional statuses aren’t beneficial at all.

What snoring can do doesn’t only rely on what is heard by the person lying next to the snorer. It could inflict a lot of other things and emotional issues to both parties. In order to avoid severe problems as mentioned, it would be best to discuss snoring properly so necessary actions can be done as early as possible. Don’t wait to suffer stress and emotional problems, get to know more about snoring and the harm it could do.

Emotional Freedom With Change Personal History

Change Personal History, is one of the most powerful techniques in an NLP practitioners toolbox. When clients come to see me for NLP, Herts at my NLP practice, Herts, it is possible to empower them to achieve emotional freedom using this technique.

Human beings only exist in the present. What we know is that we are constantly bombarded with sensory data from the environment. In order to make sense of this information, we filter it and store it as an internal representation or map. Anything not being experienced in the moment is a memory.

Often when individuals come to see me, for NLP in Herts, it is the memory of past events that are causing them a problem in the present. Specifically, it is the way the person re-experiences the past event during the process of remembering that accounts for distress in the present.

Change Personal History works by enabling the person to re-evaluate and make changes to the memory of past events. What’s more, the person is able to make use of current resources and knowledge that they have now, but didn’t have access to at the time the event occurred. So, whilst it’s not ever possible to change what actually happened, it is possible to change the meaning of past events and hence the effect this has on an individual’s behaviour.

During the Change Personal History process, the client is supported in re-living the event firstly in a dissociated state and secondly in an associated state, with the aid of a stacked resource anchor. The anchor is carefully chosen and built by the client and NLP practitioner. The client is giving the opportunity to imagine speaking directly to those involved in the event (this is done out loud), enabling the client to express what they needed too but were unable too at the time the event occurred. The client is supported to make changes to the event, to make it how they want it to be, with the benefit of the chosen resources. Other steps are included in the process, depending on the nature of the problematic past memory and unique needs and goals of the client.

In my experience, this technique is very effective and there is no longer any need for people to allow past memories to keep impacting on life in the present. If you feel you may benefit from experiencing the change personal history process, it may be worthwhile booking an appointment with an NLP practitioner. This technique is available at NLP, Herts.
