What are Some of the Inexpensive Steps you Can Take to Improve Engagement and Retention?

Experts in human resources management believe that employees can be more motivated if proper techniques are applied. Employees generally become more engaged when they are awarded appropriately with compensation that meets their needs. These rewards do not necessarily always come in the form of money. Here, I will describe several inexpensive methods that can fit any budget and that does not put large demands on one’s time.

First of all, positive reinforcement is always one of the better strategies for motivating employees. Management should train its employees to identify at least a few positive characteristics in their coworkers and make sincere complimentary comments about those positive traits so that the employee feels respected and appreciated, and thereby more motivated.   Also, offering employees more of the tasks they like to do can potentially help them to become more engaged.  Employees should encourage their employers to make suggestions, and if these suggestions are feasible and make sense, then the employers should take steps to implement these changes.  Doing so can potentially improve the working environment and thereby make employee performance much better.
