Hello and welcome to Episode 127 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast we’re discussing the 2 key types of motivation, and why you can’t have one without the other.

Many employers focus on what we call extrinsic motivators, in that they try and motivate their staff using a source external from the person. Could be a reward, an incentive, a bonus, a gift, lunch – those kinds of things. These thigs usually cost money, and when they don’t have the effect the employer was hoping for – in that the employee is not more motivated across the board, or more committed to their role, the employer becomes resentful of the motivation process.

The truth is, these extrinsic motivation techniques can work effectively, but only when the employee is already intrinsically motivated in the role, and as a result engaged. Without this foundation piece of intrinsic motivation, the extrinsic tactics are a short term win at best.

In todays’ episode we discuss the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, and why getting intrinsic right first is imperative to motivating your employees.

If you’d like to ask questions or start a discussion about motivating your people, I have an invitation for you.

Hello and welcome to Episode 126 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast we’re discussing a recruitment

strategy or tactic that we are seeing more and more often in 2022 – the

sign on bonus…

Put simply, a sign on bonus is a one off cash incentive paid to a new

employee when they accept and start a new role with you. In a market

where the competition for talent is tough, employers are literally

trying anything, including throwing money around, to try and secure

their new team members.

 In todays’ episode we discuss when and why they may be useful, but

more specifically why it’s a short sighted solution and there are other

ways to use the same investment to get a better result.

 If you’d like to ask questions or start a discussion about sign up

bonuses and other recruitment strategies, I have an invitation for you.

Hello and welcome to Episode 125 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast, I’m unpacking 3 key reasons motivation might be missing in action with your team right now. Before doing that though, I thought it was important to look at what motivation is, how it correlates with employee engagement and how engagement impacts our business generally.

I shared with you a really great distinction between motivation and engagement, which was beautifully articulated by Effectory in this article:

https://www.effectory.com/knowledge/why-you-should-be-thinking-about-engagement-and-motivation/

“Engagement is a sense of purpose, belonging, and commitment to an organization, whereas motivation is the willpower and drive to act on those feelings. Employee engagement serves as a foundation for your employees to do their best work, while motivation is the fuel or energy required to actually do it.”

Then we dive into 3 key reasons I am witnessing employee motivation seemingly being MIA right now.

If you’d like to ask questions about employee motivation, or share your experiences with motivating your team, I have an invitation for you.

Hello and welcome to Episode 124 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode of the podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on

the inner workings of a recruitment agency. I know many businesses are

looking to recruiters in the current market to help them find great

staff. But, like all industries not all recruiters are created equally

and there is certainly the good, bad and the ugly in the industry.

 So today we look at the different model’s recruitment agencies use,

what to look out for when determining what’s best for you, as well as

the things to ask and consider before signing anything!

 If you’re considering using a recruiter, or would like to contribute

to the discussion on this topic, I have a special invitation for you.
