Employee Motivation

  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) . Conducting annual surveys can be inefficient primarily because of the large time gap between each one. 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. Conducting short and frequent surveys would be effective and make it easier for the HR department to act on the employee feedback quickly (de Waal, 2014) . Sometimes, the employees may find it difficult to express themselves in face-to-face interviews/surveys. Therefore, providing confidential surveys would be a good option. Surveys conducted through online methods would be more effective. Figure 1 : Steps to conduct a good survey (Jay, 2021)
