How to motivate employees to work harder?

Five principles to motivate employees

1. The work assigned by employees should be suitable for their own work ability and workload.

Person-post matching is the goal of staffing. In order to realize the correct positioning of people, it is necessary to analyze employees and positions. Everyone's ability and personality are different, and the requirements and environment of each position are also different. Only by analyzing in advance and matching reasonably can we give full play to the role of talents and ensure the smooth completion of the work.

There are four ways to promote job matching: first, many senior managers meet a new employee at the same time to learn more about his interest, work ability and work potential; Second, in addition to regularly evaluating work performance, the company also has corresponding job descriptions and requirements; Third, use the electronic database to store information about job requirements and employees' abilities, and update them in time; Fourth, through the "power of attorney", senior managers recommend candidates for important positions to the board of directors.

2. Reward according to merit

The contribution of employees to the company is influenced by many factors, such as work attitude, work experience, education level and external environment. Although some factors are uncontrollable, the most important factor is the personal performance of employees, which can be controlled and evaluated. One of the principles is that an employee's income must be determined according to his performance. Whether employees' past performance is recognized directly affects the future work results. Merit reward can not only let employees know which behaviors should be promoted and which behaviors should be avoided, but also encourage employees to repeat and strengthen those behaviors that are beneficial to the company's development. Therefore, reflecting the wage difference on the basis of work performance is an important content of establishing a high incentive mechanism. In addition, BASF also provides different benefits such as meal supplement, housing and company stock according to employees' performance.

3. Improve the working ability of employees through basic and advanced training programs, and select qualified leaders from within the company.

Provide employees with extensive training plans, which are planned and organized by special departments. The training plan includes some basic skills training, as well as senior management training and training courses developed according to the actual situation of the company, with the ultimate goal of helping employees grow. With a clear organizational structure, every employee knows the position and role of his position in the company, and can easily understand what promotion channels are available and obtain relevant information. BASF has obvious internal orientation in promotion and tends to promote managers from within, which provides promotion opportunities for those who are interested in development.

4. Continuously improve the working environment and safety conditions.

A suitable working environment can not only improve work efficiency, but also adjust employees' psychology. Designing working environment according to physiological needs can speed up, save physical strength and relieve fatigue; Designing a working environment according to psychological needs can create a pleasant, relaxed, positive and energetic working atmosphere. Humanize the working environment, set up various car facilities near the factory, open a number of canteens and restaurants in the company, add toilets for manual workers, and keep the workplace clean and tidy. ...

Safety is the most basic requirement for working conditions, but it is a hidden pain that many enterprises are difficult to achieve. A large number of standard facilities have been established to ensure safety, which are in the charge of specialized departments, such as medical department, fire brigade and senior factory guards. , and be responsible for the safety issues within their respective scope of work. Provide regular safety guidance and protective facilities for all workers. Various security systems can also be established. For example, each floor of the building must have a specially trained employee on duty in turn. In addition to the guarantee of facilities and systems, safety in production is encouraged through incentives, and those workshops with the lowest accident rate can get safety award.

5. Implement the leadership method in a cooperative manner.

In the relationship between the leader and the led, the emphasis is on the cooperative attitude.

Leaders in the process of leadership, just like being led by themselves, frankly cooperate in an atmosphere of mutual respect. The tasks of BASF leaders are to agree on work indicators, delegate work, collect information, check work, resolve conflicts, evaluate subordinate employees and improve their work level. Among them, the most important task is to evaluate subordinates, give a fair evaluation according to their work tasks, work ability and work performance, so that subordinates can feel their contribution to the enterprise and realize the gains and losses in their work. The principle of evaluation is "praise more and blame less", respect employees and help employees complete their tasks in a cooperative way. After the task is assigned, leaders must personally check, and employees should also personally check the interim work and final work results to promote the smooth completion of the work.
