Hello and welcome to Episode 125 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
In today’s episode of the podcast, I’m unpacking 3 key reasons motivation might be missing in action with your team right now. Before doing that though, I thought it was important to look at what motivation is, how it correlates with employee engagement and how engagement impacts our business generally.
I shared with you a really great distinction between motivation and engagement, which was beautifully articulated by Effectory in this article:
https://www.effectory.com/knowledge/why-you-should-be-thinking-about-engagement-and-motivation/
“Engagement is a sense of purpose, belonging, and commitment to an organization, whereas motivation is the willpower and drive to act on those feelings. Employee engagement serves as a foundation for your employees to do their best work, while motivation is the fuel or energy required to actually do it.”
Then we dive into 3 key reasons I am witnessing employee motivation seemingly being MIA right now.
If you’d like to ask questions about employee motivation, or share your experiences with motivating your team, I have an invitation for you.
