Staying motivated and enthusiastic at the workplace can be challenging for many employees. However, as employers and managers try to improve the bottom line, push the company forward, and keep customers satisfied, they forget that they also need to motivate and inspire their employees' enthusiasm. Managers may not realize that the real issues are not tied to inspiring and motivating, but rather on demotivating employees (Honore, 2009). Several employees start their new job full of enthusiasm and motivation, and after working for some time, they lose enthusiasm and motivation. The most crucial element is to prevent that from happening and keep employees enthusiastic and motivated during their tenure, although it is not easy but certainly possible.
When fresh graduates are hired, they are excited because they take the job offered as an opportunity to learn and grow. The excitement does not always last because the management is more concerned about protocol and not personal growth. The management is not interested in the new employees trying new things because they think it might not go as planned; hence no room for learning (Manzoor, 2012). Because employees are always under pressure to drive the company agenda, there is no flexibility to implement their ideas. Therefore, as time goes by, those employees will view their work as routine and boring, and as a result, they may shut off.
Despite all obstacles that may exist, it is still possible for the management to activate and motivate employees without an overhaul to company-wide culture and policies (Dobre, 2013). They should give employees the purpose they are proud of and acknowledge their work by thanking them for work well done. They should lead in being their advocate through supporting their ideas and addressing their issues, having opportunities to make employees grow professionally, and communicating with them openly.
