Build strong teams
Building a strong team and promoting effective collaboration in the workplace motivates individuals to do their best. It’s important to have a friendly environment that inspires people.
One way you could look at developing your team is organising team-building events or out of work social gatherings. It may sound silly but allowing your team to get to know each other is often the first and most important step they need in the right direction.
Promote individuality
It’s important to remember however that it’s not just about teams and no two people think alike; every person has their own intricacies. What are their strengths and weaknesses? In what situations do they thrive? Once you have identified their strengths you can provide them with the tools that they need to reach their full potential.
Open your door
Having an open-door policy is a great way to encourage your employees to come to you with new ideas and to instil some productivity. Employees will feel that it is okay to ask for advice, feedback, or direction without getting berated.

Offer on the job training
Training can be a highly motivating aspect of any job. Most people thrive on learning new things and when an employer invests the time and money into helping you learn new things, you feel valued in your role.
A good place to start is to create personal development plans for all of your employees so that training and development can be tailored to help each individual reach their full potential.
Care about your employees
Finally, your employees need to be a part of a positive workplace environment, where they feel that they matter, and are part of something bigger. They should feel respected and are rewarded with competitive salaries and opportunities to advance their education and careers.
