Changing Behavior: Why Rewards and Punishments Often Aren't Enough

Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference.
Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board.
Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include:

• What works well and what doesn’t?
• How effective are rewards and punishment in the workplace?
• How do we learn to get the results needed, while at the same time, also building a dedicated team?
