How to Motivate Your Team to Crush Your Team Goals

Being a manager isn’t easy. You’re tasked with both ensuring your team meets certain goals and inspiring staffers to do their very best work. Some employees are a breeze to manage, requiring very little oversight, but you have to get creative to motivate others.

HTSS, Inc. – one of the top employment agencies in the Lehigh Valley — understands the importance each person plays in exceeding team goals. Use these tips to engage and inspire everyone on your roster to achieve their personal best.

Give Everyone a Stake

If you want everyone to be excited about a project, you have to give them an interest in the outcome. Divide the work up so each person has a piece that’s all their own. Resist the urge to micromanage and allow employees the freedom to complete assignments on their terms. No one wants to let the team down, so this will motivate everyone to do their very best.

Recognize Outstanding Efforts

Your employees aren’t mind-readers, so when someone really impresses you, speak up. Some people are highly motivated by praise, but even those who aren’t powered by recognition appreciate gratitude for a job well done. This lets the team know you’re watching and makes it clear you appreciate all they do for the company.

Assign Meaningful Work

It’s hard for people to get invested in work they don’t care about, so get to know your employees. Meet with each person to learn more about their interests and goals for the future, and use this information to dole out assignments people will really enjoy. Check in regularly to see how things are going and make any necessary adjustments.

Help Them See a Future at the Company

When people feel like they’re in a dead-end job, they’re not especially roused to succeed. After learning about staffer’s career goals and assigning meaningful work, help them see how excelling at their job could lead to advancement at your company. Create a roadmap to show what they need to do to make it to the next level. If they realize the impact the team’s success could have on their own career, they’ll be much more driven to succeed.

CEO Letter

As a staffing and recruitment professional for over  30 years, I have seen many changes in the industry. Over that time, I’ve witnessed a transformation in the way organizations view staffing services. Today, we see more and more companies using staffing services as a strategic tool, rather than just for temporary fill-ins.

At HTSS, Inc., our focus is on helping companies create proactive workforce plans. Our goal is to help our clients use staffing strategically to increase capacity, overcome hiring freezes, access specialized talent, better manage increased workloads, and enhance overall productivity.

For our candidates, we help to uncover truly rewarding job opportunities—jobs that are a match to each candidate’s skills, and jobs that offer key experience and growth potential.

We look forward to strengthening our relationships with our current clients and candidates, as well as forming new and exciting partnerships in the future.

Sincerely,

Pat Howells
