It’s important to understand that employees aren’t simply a means to an end. As a matter of fact, they’re the most important part of a company.
That’s why you can’t distance yourself from your employees. Instead, keep an open communication with them and be transparent when communicating with your employees at all times. If your employees know they can openly talk to you and share their potential problems or issues — without facing repercussions — they’ll feel more at ease when they’re at work.
If you've tried a variety of incentives but are still seeing the negative side effects of low motivation, you're not alone. Sometimes even the best managers have to think outside the box to find creative and reliable ways to motivate their employees.
