Motivation Develops Employee Motivation...

WOW Fact – Motivational and inspirational experiences improve employees' attitudes, confidence and performance.

On Monday 11th April, I had the great privilege of motivating the Norse bus driving team in Ipswich. Our session was called WOW – WellnessOnWheels. This workshop was part of a Wellness initiative that NORSE is  running throughout their business.

Motivated people perform better. When employees come together in such a setting, they communicate better and see each other in a WOW new light and they like it when bosses and superiors take part, which was the case yesterday - it helps the ‘can-do’ culture. A positive attitude is something everyone can work on and everyone can learn how to employ it.

Being realistic, most business’s concentrate on process, rules, theory, structure and logic, however, modern successful organisations rely just as heavily on their people having well-developed ‘soft’ skills and attributes, such as self-motivation, confidence, initiative, empathy and creativity.

I love this quote (and pardon the pun re driven, makes me think of the bus drivers…) “A workplace filled with and driven by employees with positive attitudes – vibrates continually to the tune of service excellence and passionate team success.”

WOW Fact – experiencing positive feelings is vital for success and achievement, essential for broadening people’s horizons, raising their sights, setting new personal goals and increasing MOTIVATION!

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS MOTIVATIONAL! And that’s what we also did yesterday…it got everyone’s bodies moving, which is great for general health and for an energetic approach to work. Physical activity also provides significant stress relief. People concentrate and work better when they have had some light exercise and physical stimulus. Physical activity energises people and reduces stress and tension.

In a nutshell, improve your employee’s lives… so they can improve customers’ lives. MOTIVATION is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it…and that’s simply WOW!
