What are the key motivators for your staff?

21/9/2010

 
It was reported in People Management today (21st September 2010) that the World of Work Report 2010 (a report compiled by Ranstad and based on 2500 responses from employers and employees), concluded that half of employees felt that their skills were being underutilised by employers.

The report also concluded that there was a mismatch in perceptions between employers and employees about what factors motivated staff: Employers felt that motivation was driven by benefits, brand and culture, whereas employees felt that remuneration, training, development, career planning and flexible working conditions were the drivers.

Although many staff had up-skilled in order to cover additional responsibilities during the downturn, they still felt that employers were not tapping into those skills, and about 10% of them were minded to move jobs if something more attractive came up.

Head of Randstad UK said it was important for organisations to correct the differences in perception or risk losing talented people.

This backs up what I am about to say regarding the reasons for coaching and the benefits to be gained from it and will also tie in with my earlier article on Staff Retention: Ten Top Tips on Staff Retention.docx

    Hi, I'm Barbara, owner of The Back Office.
    I've had a portfolio career... Accounts, Office Management, Executive PA Company Director, HR Manager and Consultant - across a diverse range of companies of all shapes and sizes.  Because of my eye for detail and penchant for nit-picking, I was often tasked with due diligence during acquisitions and takeovers and managed copious amounts of paperwork in extensive corporate and private litigation.
    I also lectured in Business Studies and Secretarial Skills for 10 years on a part time basis for a college in West London where I'd previously studied.
    I've had some amazing and colourful experiences during my career, gained a great skill set and considerable insight... Not much surprises me! 
    These days I enjoy bringing all these skills together to provide comprehensive support to business owners and individuals, who can benefit from my skills and experience.
    I love walking, gardening, cooking, reading and travel, and although I'm a totally grounded person, I like to have some fun in the process.
