How to motivate employees to higher productivity levels without having compensations?

1. Praise and recognize
One of the simplest ways to push people to a higher level is to praise and recognize their accomplishments. A simple compliment acknowledging their hard work and skill goes a long way. That acknowledgment makes them feel valued as the important employees they are.

2. Make organization community

Employees need to feel like they are in more than a simple job. They should feel like home and with community around to share.

3. Be connected with the team

One of the best ways to keep the team loyal and productive is to keep communication open. Having a direct line to the employees means all the employees can share direct and immediate feedback.
4. Listen & Ask
Listen to team ideas and suggestions makes employees feel more valued, which increases company loyalty.

5. Know them as more than workers

An excellent way to keep happening is to get to know them as actual people and not just as employees. This way can help to manage them properly.

6. Give educational opportunities

Practice and experience are useful, but nothing can replace the value of a good education. Giving employees the opportunity to grow in a structured setting will not only improve their output, but it will also make them more loyal towards the company. Alternatively, can have cross-train at departments they are interested in.

7. Offer flexible work timings

Work-life balance is an essential part of motivating employees. If they feel like they have no control over their time and life, they will leave to find another opportunity. Finding a way to make their schedules more flexible will get happier and more productive employee.

8 Offer perks.


Improving the quality of their work life is a great way to motivate them to be more productive. While compensation is necessary, improving conditions at work will often inspire far more loyalty and performance than most amounts of cash would.

    Adequate trainings decided based on the skill gaps will also increase productivity. Additionally organizational working culture will also help to motivate people towards high productivity. Trust, mutual respect, integrity practiced within an organization will lead people for more productivity.
    As a part of culture person needs to be segregated from the issue and solutions needs to be worked out accordingly.

    Summing up the entire approach, this basically says to give more attention to the employees needs and help them to develop themselves in their career path while making them feel comfortable (feel like home). This is exactly what any employee would like apart from an increased compensation.
