"Who Else Wants a PLAN for Tomorrow?"
Motivating Employees through a Weak Economy
by Lois Moncrief

OK - we're in the "great recession" according to a lot of bright minds. So how do we survive this and how do we plan for recovery?

When the economy is weak, everyone is worried. Business owners and managers are worried. Employees are worried. You are worried.

Now is the time for you, the manager, to talk , to inform. If you do not provide information - status, updates, and plans, then rumors will spread like wildfire. Employees can handle the truth a lot better than the silence where their imaginations are all that they have to guide them.

Hi again!

It's another great day and I am sitting at my computer working away on my business. My dog, Shov, has just come in and is greeting me with a toy in his mouth. It's his thing to always greet people by bringing them a "gift". It is very endearing.

I hope things are going well for you and I would love to hear from you. What successes have you had motivating your employees?

Write me and tell me your stories.

How to Motivate Employees in a Bad Economy

How to Motivate Employees in a Bad Economy

By Lois Moncrief

When Promotions and Raises Are Not an Option and Money is Tight

It is not easy out there in the economy right now for anyone - business or employees. Businesses are looking for as many ways as possible to cut back just to survive. Workers have fewer and fewer choices now for jobs. It is a depressing situation for many.

Managers are asking, "how can I motivate employees now during these bad economic times? Company funds for "promotions" and "raises" are few and far between.

So how do you as a manager keep your employees motivated?

Hi again!

I am sitting here working hard on my website, www.howtomotivateemployeesnow.com. It is almost sundown and my husband is outside flying remote control model airplanes but it is my dog, Shov, I want to tell you about. About a week ago Shov decided that it would be great fun to run as hard as he can after the model airplanes once they are airborne. Our yard is 5 acreas and you should see him run. I didn't think dogs could run that fast! Oh and did I mention he barks at the planes also. Fortunately, we live in farm country and are surrounded by fields so no one seems to be bothered. Shov is a 6 year old yellow lab. He has a great personality, very athletic (especially when he is doing his double twist aerobatics trying to catch a ball in the air), handsome, and very, very intelligent. Did I mention we have to spell words around him? So why is he named Shov? Someone abandoned him in the countryside when he was 6 weeks old - no collar - nothing. My husband found him in an area where he was working on a building for his dad. He picked up a shovel to use it and Shov came running over to attack and play with the shovel and so his name became Shov. He is so amazing! He already was potty trained. He only made one mistake since we have had him. One day when he was young and playing laser tag in the house, he got excited and yes he made a mistake so we learned to always let him go outside to do his duty before playing laser tag. He gets his teeth brushed every night and helps us with the process so he doesn't have that doggy breath.

Back to how to motivate employees on my computer! until next time

To Your Success!
