This blog is about motivational incentives
In Motivating Positive Performance: Understanding Motivational Needs, we discussed the importance of determining the individual motivational needs of your team. Below is a list of possible needs and suggested motivating tasks and performance incentives you can use to encourage positive behavior. Most employees will value each of these needs to some extent. The key is to determine your employee's prioritization of these needs and then assess how you can create incentives and disincentives to correct behavioral issues at work.
The need for the basics - a need for most entry-level staff. Their lower income keeps their needs basic: food, water, shelter, clothing and transportation
Motivating tasks = organizing a luncheon, choosing suppliers for the vending machine, choosing benefit providers
Performance Incentives = catered lunches, expense accounts, reimbursement for mileage, increases in benefit plans, company car, water coolers, free coffee/tea, lunch rooms with a fridge and microwave, grocery or restaurant gift certificates
The need for physical activity - need to be active and not tied to a desk, likes to use muscle and get their hands dirty. Tend to be kinesthetic learners.
