Note from the Editors

Hi guys! We are half way through the year; gosh time really flies don’t they. Let’s take a minute to reflect what we had achieved throughout the year. Did you guys managed to operationalise the HR Strategy you’ve designed for Year 2009 or you were too busy rightsizing due to our current economic situation? Those who managed to stick to their strategy and planning kudos to you and those who got sidetracked don’t give up. Regardless your current situation, it is wise to start strategising for next year as most of you shall need to present your upcoming strategy at the end of third quarter. In hard times your boss will need hard facts from you to support your findings and proposals. As we all know by now most CEO and MD only concentrate on acts and figures and therefore it is wise of you to quantify your proposals and not just concentrate on quality; hence our upcoming conference will assist you tremendously! We are also aware that the current situation does dampen employees’ motivation and we feel that it is a topic worth looking into for this month. Employees who are not motivated will cause a negative impact to an already bad situation in the company as efficiency will decrease. So let’s hold our heads high and pull up our employees’ spirit to weather these hard days ahead!

The bottom line is that there is a heavy price when employees have motivation issues.  Therefore it does not matter whatever size the Company is; as having a team of motivated employees is crucial for business success.

 

Let’s look at some pointers that would guide in motivating an employee who has lost his or her motivation, whether a former hard worker whose performance has declined over the years, or a long-term problem employee who has failed to improve.
