A report by Gallup suggests that only 13% of employees are engaged at work. This statistic is an eye-opener and requires organizations to reflect on whether they are motivating their employees enough or not. Motivating employees is an important aspect for any business as motivated employees perform better leading to increased commitment, engagement, satisfaction, and efficiency.

 

Employee motivation is not a new fad and many psychologists and management experts have emphasized its importance. In fact, Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist, postulated the idea that there are certain needs that motivate humans to behave in a certain manner, in the year 1943. This hierarchy of needs is applied to workplaces even today and holds true for almost every organization where Human Resources is considered prominent and important.
