Six things youre doing to demotivate your staff By:

Motivation goes hand in hand with staff morale

Money usually doesnt buy employee happiness

So what are you doing to demotivate your staff?

1. You dont challenge your staff

Challenged employees are more passionate

Offer them variety

Opportunities for leadership & recognition

2. You discourage open communication

Communication = key to healthy work environment

Make yourself always available to address any concerns staff might have

Keep communication lines open

Give everyone equal participation in the success of your business

3. You dont listen to your staff

Know their dreams & aspirations

What excites them

What keeps them up at night

Where they want to end up

4. Youre not flexible

Your team members are not robots

Allow them to make their own mistakes

5. You dont recognize accomplishments

Tells them you dont care about the work they do

Discourages them from taking healthy risks

When your team members feel celebrated, they are more motivated to hit your companys milestones

6. You dont set clear expectations

Knowing whats expected increases productivity by 5-10%
