Motivation and its role in creating an efficient workforce.

 15/8/23

Employees form the backbone of a company, instrumental to its operations and advancements. Utilising their diverse skills, companies achieve operational finesse and meet customers changing expectations effectively. A harmonious team is essential in nurturing a conducive work atmosphere, propelling the organisation towards its goals. Without the employees' innovation and drive for success, failure and inefficiency becomes inevitable for the business.

By understanding the information above, we are able to comprehend that the work employees put into the business is extremely vital. So how do businesses and co-corporations ensure their workers efficiency?

This is achieved by using a range of motivating methods.

Historically, increasing ones pay would ensure that they are committed and provide innovation for the businesses growth, but as times change these cliché methods have evidently failed to generate a more efficient workforce.

The diagram illustrates different motivating methods that businesses use apart from a pay increase. Additional advantages such as secure work environments, independence, and empowerment collectively install a sense of receiving greater value for the employees efforts.

The non-financial benefits that I want to talk about are called fringe benefits. Fringe benefits, additional to basic wages/salaries, play a pivotal role in motivating employees. These perks encompass health insurance, flexible working hours etc. They enhance job satisfaction and work-life equilibrium. Employees feel valued and supported, leading to increased morale and loyalty. This in turn, drives higher productivity, innovation, and lower turnover rates. In a competitive job market, offering appealing fringe benefits sets companies apart, attracting and retaining efficient workers, ultimately benefiting both the workforce and the organisation.

What is the Gig economy?

Image
 In todays age, where technology has been made the first priority in many peoples lives, the gig economy has simultaneously experienced a rise in popularity.  First of all what is the gig economy? It is a labour market charecterised by the prevalance of short term contracts of freelance workers who dont engage in permenant jobs. These 'gig workers' typically work on a project or task basis, offering their services or skills to clients or companies for a specific duration. Personally, I have used multiple freelancing platforms such as Fiverr and 99Designs for short tasks and a cheap price. The availability of such workers who uptake and complete your task for a short period of time, provides significant satisfaction to customers or clients who might not be interested or have the funds to hire full time workers. Here listed out are some other primary reasons why the gig economy has seen outstanding growth. Digita platforms - As i mentioned at the begining, the internet and techno

My story starting my own business.

  What does it take to transform a simple idea into a thriving business? As a highschool senior, I decided to go on a journey to find out. My idea was simple: contact local business owners and present them with my intention of making them their own specialized business website and then creating one with the help of AI tools and a few customisations in exchange for a small amount of money. It sounds straightforward, but the lessons I would learn throughout this process were far from being simple. Filled with passion, excitement, and the thought of becoming rich at a young age, I began calling every single bookstore, hairdresser, and event planner in my city. After getting rejected by the first few of my potential clients I failed to get demotivated as my drive for success could not be constrained by a few failures. I tried again and again and again…., until there was no one else to call. All I was met with was a ‘no thank you’ or a ‘i'll get back to you’. Frustrated, I decided that

Inflation and its effects on people.

  What impact does inflation have on people's lives? Inflation, the sustained and extensive rise in the prices of commodities and services within an economy over a period of time, arises from a disjunction between excessive demand and constrained supply. It impacts the lives of people and the economies they reside in, in three profound ways : reducing people’s purchasing power, fiscal drag, and the reduction in unemployment. Analysing the potent influence of historical events such as the 1920s stock market chaos in Germany and the hyperinflation faced by Venezuela offers poignant illustrations of inflation’s far-reaching ramifications, significant in highlighting its intricate effects on individuals. Inflation’s foremost impact lies in the pervasive reduction of purchasing power. As inflation intensifies, the currency’s precipitous devaluation ensues, diminishing its capacity to acquire commodities. This erosion, where the nominal value of money diverges from its market value, lead
