COMMUNICATION AND MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES
Role of Communication in Employee Relationship

A healthy employee relationship ensures a positive environment at work and also helps
the employees to achieve their targets at a much faster rate. People are more focused, can
concentrate better in their assignments and hence the output increases. Employees are not
engaged in constant fights, are eager to help each other and do not take work as a burden. They
enjoy each and every moment at work and do not take leaves often.
Communication is not only important in our daily lives but also plays a crucial role at
workplace. It is one of the most important factors which either improves or spoils the relationship
among employees.
1. The communication has to be transparent and precise for a warm relationship among
employees.
2. The employees must be very clear about what is being expected from them.
3. Don’t change statements quite often.
4. Think twice before you speak. Avoid using foul words against anyone at the workplace as
it spoils the ambience of the office and leads to several disputes among individuals.
5. Important information should be passed on in the presence of each and every employee
for better clarity.
6. Depend more on written modes of communication as they are more reliable as compared
to verbal communication.
Communicate effectively with your fellow team members and you would never have a problem
with anyone. People would respect you and work would be fun for you.
Motivation Techniques
Employees are the most essential aspect of any successful business. The happier your
employees are at work, the more efficient your business flow will be — it’s as simple as that.
However, in order for employees to be good at what they do, they need to be motivated,
engaged, productive and effective at work. In most cases, a company culture and environment
where employees can feel comfortable and relaxed does the job. But what happens when the
overall employee motivation start to decline even with good conditions in place?
Here are a Few Things Personnel Managers Can Use to Motivate

Employees
1. Communication for the Win
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.
Think outside the box for a second. Why do people work in the first place?
2. Show Your Appreciation
Every employee enjoys recognition in the workplace (and at home and anywhere else, for
that matter.) When they know their hard work isn’t going unnoticed, employees will feel
motivated to continue doing well on their job. Show your appreciation by thanking your
employees for the job they’re doing, either in person or in writing, or both. Be sincere and show
them how much their efforts mean to the company. Congratulate them for successfully
completing a job, reaching an important milestone, or an important business goal. And if their
effort is noted, but the project went astray, sometimes that’s worth acknowledgement too —
after all, learning should be celebrated as it’s the path toward innovation.
Employee appreciation goes a long way for employee motivation. Simply put, the more
you recognize their contributions, the more motivated they’ll be to face new challenges.
The fact of the matter is that your employees will feel better about themselves when they
know that you appreciate their work and value their opinions.
3. Emphasize The Life-Work Balance
Each and every one of us struggles to find the perfect balance between our jobs and our
personal lives. Finding work-life balance is oftentimes challenging and it can be quite difficult.
However, as a personnel manager it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to help your employees live
a happy life and be happy with their job at the same time.
4. Involve Employees in Decision Making
Employees are already a part of your organization and you might be surprised at how
much valuable insight they can offer. Your employees have a unique perspective on things and
they might spot something that upper management failed to recognize. Involving employees in
decision making — especially in decisions that concern them or their areas of expertise — is a
great motivator. That way, not only will your employees have a sense of purpose, but they’ll also
have a sense of involvement, and they’ll feel like that their insight is valued by the organization.
In addition, aside from gaining valuable insight from your employees’ perspectives, there
are more perks to involving them in making decisions and allowing them to participate in the
process. It helps build trust between workers and managers and it also allows managers to
establish more personal relationships with their employees. Moreover, these relationships foster
team collaboration, which motivates employees to work together with other members of the
organization, in order to find efficient and innovative ways to overcome challenges and obstacles.
5. Allow Your Employees to Grow
An opportunity to grow and advance in the ranks of an organization motivates employees

to give their best. The promise of career advancement and better job conditions is something
every employee will look forward too. However, having your employees invest their blood, sweat
and tears isn’t a good way to motivate them to aspire for promotions.
Instead, help them get there by offering them additional training, courses and seminars
that will hone their skills and expand their knowledge. Allow them to learn new skills and let them
look for — or carve out — their ideal roles within your organization. That way, your employees
will not only be motivated to accomplish more and seek greater opportunities, they’ll also
become more engaged and productive.
Motivating employees isn’t a simple task, but HR managers have the means to identify what will
truly do the trick. As well-known entrepreneur Richard Branson said: “Your employees are your
company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen – so long as
their needs are being met.”
