Seven Ways to Motivate Employees Today

The challenging economy of the past few years has exacerbated the problem of motivating employees. For many, rising health care costs have gobbled up most of the meager raises they have received. Advancement opportunities have been severely limited due to the lack of growth of their organizations. And they have become disillusioned with management due to continuous reports about the corruptness of senior management at many leading U.S. corporations. They are feeling over worked, unappreciated, and under compensated.
