There\u2019s a flurry of conversation in the Slack channel about ways to improve current processes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive feedback is flooding in from customers and clients, and you\u2019ve just had a major project signed off. Sounds good, right?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, and the best part \u2013 it\u2019s only 9 am. <\/span><b><i>This is the reality of an inspired workforce<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A team motivated to perform at the top of their game. A team performance that\u2019s pushing the boundaries, challenging the status quo and making a real impact.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds like a dream, right? So how do you actually achieve it? How do you inspire your team and create a workplace that inspires them to do their best work, perform at peak productivity, and live and breathe your company values?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hint:<\/strong> it\u2019s not complimentary breakfast or ros\u00e9 on tap.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-an-inspired-workforce\">What is an inspired workforce?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspired employees can be defined as employees who get meaning and inspiration from their company\u2019s mission and are inspired by the leaders in their company.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have a deep sense of purpose when it comes to working towards their company\u2019s mission which pushes them to innovate and make a difference for their customers and clients. We all know how important it is to be inspired in our everyday lives, and it\u2019s no different in the workplace. According to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2023\/10\/creating-a-happier-workplace-is-possible-and-worth-it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> research shows a causal link between happy workers and a 13% increase in performance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shows that not only can it improve the culture of the company, but it improves productivity and output. Research shows it would take more than two \u2018satisfied\u2019 employees to generate the same output as one inspired employee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how to inspire your team and what truly motivates employees, let\u2019s take a look at the pyramid of employee needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-43416 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Employee-pyramid-of-needs.png\" alt=\"Employee pyramid of needs\" class=\"wp-image-43416\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Harvard Business Review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To improve employee motivation and inspire performance, your leadership team must lead the way and set the standard. They need to be the driving force behind improving and inspiring employees through each stage of your employee\u2019s needs and continually champion the company\u2019s mission.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-inspire-your-team\">How to inspire your team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ready to learn how to inspire your team and create a workforce of inspired employees, read on as we share how to create a team that will put your organisation ahead of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-encourage-personal-and-professional-growth\">1. Encourage personal and professional growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know that learning and development opportunities can do wonders for organisational growth. Encouraging personal growth through regular learning and development opportunities can contribute to increased employee motivation, lower turnover, and higher productivity rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only this, a recent study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/309284\/ways-continue-employee-development-covid.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that organisations that have made a strategic investment in employee development report 11% greater profitability and are twice as likely to retain their employees.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no surprise that investing in your team\u2019s learning and development is proven to yield long-term benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Not sure what type of learning is best for your team?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to Gallup, a blended approach to learning (online and instructor-led) is the most effective.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-create-a-culture-of-reward-and-recognition\">2. Create a culture of reward and recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that according to the UK Employee Recognition Survey, three in four employees feel they deserve more recognition for the work that they do? Furthermore, less-recognised employees are 131% more likely to lose faith in their management team and company core values. This highlights the significant impact of recognition on employee morale and productivity. If this isn\u2019t enough to get you moving, maybe this one will.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrdive.com\/news\/workers-unhappy-with-managers-4x-more-likely-to-job-hunt\/542515\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TINYpulse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 21.5% of employees who don\u2019t feel recognised for the great work they\u2019re doing have interviewed for a new role in the past three months.&nbsp;While leadership style plays a major role in recognition, the best way to foster collaboration and honest feedback between employees is to get all team members involved in giving recognition regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ready to create a culture of reward and recognition, we\u2019ve summed up three different ways you can start incorporating intrinsic motivation into your daily routine here.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"encourage-employees-to-recognise-team-members\">Encourage employees to recognise team members<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peer-to-peer recognition is one of the most authentic ways you can show thanks to your team and create a culture of reward and recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is that recognising a team member for great work or simply thanking them for help on a project can be one of the best ways to keep your team feeling motivated and inspired.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s even better is that it\u2019s 100% free!Some ways you can implement peer-to-peer recognition include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employment Hero\u2019s Peer-to-peer<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shoutout feature<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you notes<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team notice board<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dedicated portion of your team meeting to acknowledge co-workers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mentions on company communication channels.

A cake in the office, a bunch of flowers or a shoutout to celebrate someone passing probation can make your team feel valued and ultimately improve loyalty. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Employment-Hero-Shoutouts-Feature.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Employment Hero\u2019s Shout Out feature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, it\u2019s the small things that contribute to creating a culture of reward and recognition!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-reinforce-your-company-values-by-attaching-them-to-employee-recognition\">3. Reinforce your company values by attaching them to employee recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all businesses have a set of values, so you might be surprised to hear this. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/voicesfromeurope\/2018\/03\/28\/company-vision-and-values-do-they-still-matter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, only 52% of employees can recite their company values. This means that for many organisations, values are just a set of words painted on a wall near the kitchen and that\u2019s it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team doesn\u2019t live and breathe them, and by the sounds of it \u2013 many have no clue what they even are! By having the option for employees to reward and recognise co-workers who encompass your company values, you\u2019ll create a values-driven culture that champions the \u2018why\u2019 of your business every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-create-company-traditions\">4. Create company traditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you know it or not, all companies have their own traditions \u2013 ringing a bell in the office for hitting sales targets, a team lunch, a charity fun run or sharing some cake whilst singing happy birthday, it\u2019s these traditions that give your team something to look forward to.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a volunteer day every year, quarterly celebrations or an annual team retreat, creating company traditions can keep your team feeling motivated and inspired throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-allow-for-flexible-working-and-actually-mean-it\">5. Allow for flexible working (and actually mean it!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, we\u2019re busier than ever \u2013 juggling work, social events and parenting responsibilities, amongst many other things, can really take a toll on your team. This is why it\u2019s never been more important to encourage flexible working and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actually mean it<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If 2020 taught us one thing, it\u2019s that remote working is the way forward and <\/span><b>t<i>he benefits of flexible schedules are obvious.<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Flexible work can mean employees spend less time commuting and more time with family, friends or other personal interests.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Remote Working Survey last year uncovered the commute as being the most disliked aspect of office working. Using our working hours more efficiently results in more fulfilling rest hours. It all adds up and can help you give your team the power to choose where and when they work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employment Hero<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we take a remote-first approach to work and encourage our team to work from home when possible and use the office for social and collaboration days. The last thing you want is for your team to feel like they\u2019re spending their days chained to their desks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-set-clear-goals-and-organise-events-in-advance-if-theyre-met\">6. Set clear goals and organise events in advance if they\u2019re met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s face it. If there are no goals and no rewards, the chances of your employees being willing to achieve their best and produce great results are slim.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you throw in an incentive like a commission structure, end-of-month bonus, celebrations or events, the chances of your team being motivated to go above and beyond increase ten-fold.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what the desired result is, setting clear goals with a specific reward will motivate your team and inspire them to reach them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this to be as effective as possible, you should clearly define the goal initially and make the reward as specific as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a 10% commission if you reach a sales target or a lengthy lunch at a specific restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-create-an-environment-that-inspires\">7. Create an environment that inspires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a beautiful, plant-filled workspace, they all say! And we know what you\u2019re thinking \u2013 but hear us out. Chances are your team is going to work better when they\u2019re surrounded by a nice environment, as opposed to working in a dark and cramped space.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lush plants, bean bags, large windows, optimal lighting and stand-up desks all have their benefits \u2013 and you can\u2019t deny they help brighten a room and make it feel more comfortable.Did you know that indoor plants can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2014\/09\/140901090735.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boost productivity by up to 15%?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not only this, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/nasa_techdoc_19930072988\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NASA study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that indoor plants were effective in filtering offices out of common chemicals and other nasties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean air, fewer irritants and more settled employees.
