POST 1
The strategy that I find to be the most motivating would be the intrinsic motivation. Having your own business cards, changing the job title, and having a flexible schedule. Having a call center job seems to be like the movie Ground Hogs Day where every day is the same. It can become very monotonous and tedious. Having these little changes can change the way you approach your job. That feeling of importance.
I guess the up side to that would of course be a large bonus if you were successful. But but then the next month you were having an off month and didn’t get a referral and now you find yourself short on your mortgage and bills.
For me the flexibly scheduling would be the most compelling reason to work there. I am an early riser and if I could be on an earlier schedule that would help me a ton.

MY MY DISCUSSION POST RQD
POST 1 :Motivation is important, it not only assist in getting the most out of employees, but it also helps retain the best employees. The organization I work for already has a lot of great recognition programs; the problem is that the direct manager does not make them available to us. I think it would motivate our team if our management group would use the resources provided by the organization. They can start by recognizing the members of our team who go beyond what is expected. Management should also use the flexible work schedule program available to employees instead of making us feel like we are prisoners of our work schedule. Some employees prefer to come in early and some a little later. If the company already offers it, then management in our department should not make it difficult for us to have a flex schedule. Motivation is increased when communication is improved, employee recognition and rewards for good work are implemented, and when responsibility increases. Employees who are given more responsibility will feel a greater ownership in the business and will be more motivated to work harder to make the business succeed.

POST2:Goal Setting Theory is a good way for employers to motivate their employees because it provides an agreed upon goal and outcome that the employee must achieve in order to receive the reward. This empowers the employee not only to come up with the goal to achieve with the employers buyin, but also what success looks like in the end. This also is a good way employers can differentiate between others and their rewards as everyone’s goals will be different.
S.M.A.R.T Goals are also a good way to assess performance. Since they are Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Results based, and Time Sensitive. Like the Goal Setting Theory the SMART goals also are mutually agreed upon by the employer and the employee. The goals have to be met in order to be rewarded and will be different amongst the staff. Employers can link rewards directly to the goal achievement. “Performance agreements reduce ambiguity and sets the stage for top performance.” Where I work at Amgen we use SMART Goals to establish our goals and then we are rated against those goals during our annual performance review. I think it is a great tool for a “fair” way to evaluate and reward employees.
