21012021 How to handle an unmotivated employee -Jamie Mercer

by MJINAUS 2021. 6. 22.

Being unmotivated has a direct impact on performance.

If people are not motivated to do their job, generally they will underperform. Other emplyees may feel that they must work harder to compensate for unfinished tasks which can easily create resentment among team members, bringing down the morale of the whole team.

Here are some characteristics of unmotivated employees to look out for:

-Lack of energy

-Poor attention to detail

-Shying away from challenges

-Poor performance

Once the problem is identified you must analyse the situation using whatever information is available and answer the following questions:

-Is the employee aware of the impact of their actions?

-Does the employee know his or her performance is not that it should be?

-Are expectations placed on them clear?

The most critical step in successfully managing unmotivated employees is talking with the employee in question. You need to identify triggers that can make the employee feel unmotivated and disconnected from work. Both parties then need to agree on a solution and outline the steps required to achive changes.

If any slight setback at work can trigger a downward spiral of negativity for your employee, you could "put a process in place to deal with any failure where your employees are encouraged to stop and reflect on what has happened. Ask them to think about what they could do differently next time, and encourage them to look ahead and focus on the next challenge.

Prevention is better than cure

You can only coach and guide employees to motivate themselves.
