When it comes to encouraging your employees to achieve important goals, motivation is the name of the game. In fact it is one of the most important pieces of the goal setting puzzle, playing a role in both establishing and attaining goals. According to an article by Ronald E. Riggio, PhD, in Psychology Today, “Research has suggested that the best way to drive continuous levels of motivation is to allow the person to experience “small wins”—breaking down a large task into smaller, measurable steps and celebrating the attainment of each step or level.”
Sounds easy, right? But how can leaders effectively accomplish this in the workplace? Create a structured program that outlines specific goals, measures results, and rewards successful performance.
One fun and effective way to not only measure results but reward performance is through the use of small gifts. This is where branded promotional products can help you motivate and reward your team in creative and fun ways. By choosing the right promotional product, one that your employees love or find fun, you can provide a reward that doesn’t break the bank. Once your motivational program goals have been established, it is important to provide a means to recognize the achievements of your team.
