  Measuring and maintaining employee motivation 1.      Conducting surveys Assigning metrics to measure employee motivation can be difficult. However, surveys are an efficient method of gathering employee feedback (Garrad and Hyland, 2020) .

Analyzing the results of one survey may consume too much time, and by the time the management implements the relevant changes, the problems would have already caused severe losses to the company.

  Factors Affecting Employee Motivation 1. Reward and recognition  Rewards and recognition are highly important factors in boosting employee motivation (Hansen, Smith and Hansen, 2002) . Once an employee had gained recognition for his work, the effect of that recognition starts fading after some time. In order to further enhance the impact of recognition, it should be followed by suitable rewards. Recognition alone may be sufficient in some cases, but rewards have a better effect in creating a long-lasting motivation. Rewards can vary based on the cost and the impact. It is ideal to offer diverse rewards which may hold attractiveness to different employees based on the things they like. Trips, gift vouchers, and an extra day off are potential rewards that may hold different values to each employee. The prime aim of recognizing and rewarding employees is to provide them motivation to better perform in their role and to encourage them in showing positive behaviors. There are ma
