Productivity Planner

Motivation must come from within no matter what the experts say. However demotivation comes from within and outside of each individual. And it is usually the outside forces that truly affect work productivity.

Many times businesses and organizations have policies that negatively affect the performance of their customers (both internal employees and external clients to vendors to shareholders). These policies or even lack of policies and subsequent enforcement do as much if not more damage to the organization’s overall work productivity than anything else.

For example, gossiping affects work productivity of all involved in this very negative behavior. When it is allowed, motivation is harmed because of all the negative energy associated with this conduct.

Exceptions to standard policies and practices are another example of demotivation. When one or more employees are allowed not to do what everyone else has been mandated to do, is a red flag. What the message behind this action is that so and so is the exception and is special while you are not. Remember how you felt about the teacher’s pet?

If an organization truly wants to master success by increasing work productivity, before attempting to motivate its people, all demotivating obstacles must be identified and removed. From my 30 plus years of experience, most people want to do a good job. However when there is no course (strategic plan), no identification of acceptable behaviors (values statement) and no consistently communicated goals (mission statement), the crew begins the trip already behind. And this demotivation is supported by business productivity research.

With the world becoming a far more competitive workplace, any obstacles that impede work productivity are also draining your bottom line. And this is the real reason why these obstacles need to be identified and corrected unless of course, you want to waste your greatest resource - your human capital.
