In order to find, retain and manage the people with the right skills for your business, you need to consider what employees may be looking for in a job. There are a number of motivators besides money that people are interested in.

As an employer you can offer performance incentives as a way of motivating your staff. Incentives are rewards for achieving goals. Employers can set out an incentive early on and reward employees when they meet or exceed a certain goal, objective or deadline. The idea is that as the employee achieves more highly and the business also succeeds meaning a win-win situation for both employee and employer.

Another way to motivate your staff is by offering an improved work-life balance. Work-life balance refers to adjusting work patterns to assist employees in combining work with their other responsibilities, such as family and community commitments. This may include working part time, job sharing, flexible rosters or even working from home.

You may also consider providing a certain amount of unpaid leave for when it is required. This allows people to stay in the workforce in situations where they may otherwise have had to leave.

A better work-life balance may also help to reduce employee stress, improve productivity and decrease unscheduled absenteeism. All of these factors can reduce staff turnover and improve loyalty and commitment.
