𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 & 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒔

A narrative from a Client:
"We are doing good in our business as far as sales targets and deliveries are concerned. But our team is not motivated enough. The sense of ownership and drive from within is lacking. We would like to arrange for a motivational talk for them!"

Such Motivational talks have their own impacts for sure but for the transformations to take place, one such event may not change the lives of people overnight. There needs to be a series of consistent efforts for a specific period & post this period, the hand-holding is necessary.

As far as being motivated at workplace is concerned, here are some factors to be considered,
~ 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 & 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - It is important for the team to sense that lack of motivation. As they are the ones expected to go through the process of transformation.

~ 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 - If motivation is lacking, what is the root cause? Is it anyway linked with the systems, reward policy, succession planning policy, leadership, work culture, work environment? If any of these is a contributing factor, sheer talk or training will not give the results.

~ 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 - A training / talk has to create that lasting impact, where we teach people to find "what motivates them and how to keep those factors alive... irrespective of the surroundings". However, for this the basic willingness - to change, to learn, to acquire new skills - needs to be exhibited from the individual. And training must address this area effectively.

~ 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠? - As an organization are we raising the bars for our teams? Are the outshining performances linked with equally lucrative rewards? Does the Team get a chance to celebrate their success stories?

There are perspectives and approaches to address this 'lack of motivation'. The Training Vertical of Synergeze Consultants Pvt Ltd walks the path with Organizations right from analyzing the root causes to suggesting effective means to ensure that becomes and remains in the DNA of the Organization! May it be through or by working with the Management to re-engineer their systems and processes. Share your pain areas with us... Be prepared to make necessary changes & wait for the assured results.

𝑺𝑶𝑷𝒔 – 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔

As the name depicts, SOPs are like,

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
setting frames for do’s & don’ts for every single operation, analyzing it from the macro to micro perspective to its minutest level. They offer all the benefit, if we abide by them & we may incur losses, if they are violated.

𝐃𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
dictating each & every process with its ‘why’ & ‘how’, expecting the team members to follow them unconditionally so that the Operations become process driven and not people driven.
This is to avoid the deviations due to different thinking processes & approaches individuals may have & still respecting their efforts towards desired result-oriented ex*****on.

𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
SOPs, though formulated focusing on the Operational aspect, they do and should emerge from the philosophy of the organization. Organization’s values, principles and how they depict in the decisions & ex*****on ultimately build the culture.
While pursuing the vision, the Organizations must get rid of the myopic approach & while strategizing for long term gain, the present & future operations play a major role. SOPs are the guidelines ensuring all of this falls in place for current as well as future scenarios.

The standardization is the core of the Processes, where discipline plays an utmost important role, which is linked closely with the organizational culture.

As a Soft Skills Trainer, I always sense this need while conducting training programs. While Organizations are investing huge budgets in upskilling, the workforce must also be well-tuned with SOPs. SOPs is just a frame... not a limitation & they fuel the growth of the organization by offering a runway.

Would like to hear your thoughts & experiences...

𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔 -
𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚?

Timelines are often connected with work pressures... And let me admit, even I used to come from the same mindset. But as I started working on my self-organization patterns, the first question I asked myself was -'why?' and that is where certain realizations came from.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬?
~ most of the times rewards are connected with these timelines. They act as motivators otherwise but we also fear losing them with missed timelines. This fear creates pressure.

~ some times we are answerable to someone, mostly a client. Our reputation, social image, credibility are all at stake when there are timelines in picture. Compromises here may reflect in long term loss & re-gaining them calls for restart then. All this creates a toll on our emotional & mental conditions, reflecting in pressure

~ Certain tasks or actions lose relevance after a point in time & if we don't respect that point, the whole set of efforts stands as a waste. This awareness creates pressure

But, all these can be perceived as positive pressures, which can be used to our benefit.

Let me also share 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲...
~ It could be a failure at the planning level itself. Assigning lesser time for humongous tasks could be one mistake

~ Many fail in estimation of time allotment. Inexperience, lack of awareness, tendency to be over-confident, not taking cognizance of factors which are out of our control, inability in getting things done from the team members, lack of assertiveness can all contribute to this failed estimation.

~ Inability to say 'no' to the time wasters, to those attractive distractions, inability to focus & concentrate reflect in letting time slip second by second, ultimately impacting the final timeline

~ Many lack a skill of backward planning. If this is not done, the tasks remain activities... do not become goals, which is necessary for any accomplishment

Please remember, all these are mindset problems & can be corrected with focused & guided efforts. How? I'll explain in my next post.

Stay tuned & until then do share how do timelines impact you?

𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 - 𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔
𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍?

I have seen many organizations making their Managers, Team members wait post office hours to complete their tasks. Let's discuss its impact on your employees & work culture.

~ Employees lack ownership towards work. It becomes a compulsive activity for them.
~ If you are expecting your employees to reach office in time but not respecting their time while closing, the respect towards Organization gradually sees a drop.
~ Focus shifts from work to timings and escape loopholes.
~ The only point of loyalty becomes the paychecks.
~ You gradually get to see a rising graph of staff turnover.
~ Those who choose to stay back mostly come from a stagnated mindset, lack courage or mindset to face a challenging situation. So, overall quality of human resource gets compromised.
~ The new talent hunt becomes a tough game.

Though we agree that people primarily work for monetary benefits, with increasing awareness about mental health, family values & also with advancements in technology creating their own impact, finding & retaining a talented workforce is becoming a challenge. And work culture plays a major role here.

Here are some points for Organizations to reflect upon...
~ Are discipline & rules paramount at the workplace?
~ Do you make employees at all the levels aware of mutual respect culture?
~ Do your values, philosophy reflect in your HR policies?
~ Are your Managers trained on time management & efficiency enhancement skills?
~ Do you make periodic efforts to check the employee ownership quotient?
~ Do you have an in-built mechanism for the same?
~ Do your employees get chance to conduct organizational assessment audit? And do you possess the mindset to accept the results with honesty & openness?

I am not saying that all the employees possess the required skills & mindset to do this but there are certainly some triggering factors which start growing like cancerous tissues if not addressed timely.

It is very important to keep checking the mental health of the Organization. I am sure you as a leader will get multiple insights regarding the performance graphs.

Work culture needs a cultivating mechanism right from day one with a top down approach. Are you in sync?
