To put it simply … there are a ton of unmotivated employees out there.

In a Gallup Poll, it was found that only 29% of employees were actively motivated and engaged in their jobs.

That means 71% were unmotivated. And of those, 54% were not engaged at all and 17% were actively disengaged.

These are the folks who show up to work, give the minimal effort to get by, and go home. There's no such thing as going "above and beyond" with these employees.

Unfortunately, they don't have that intrinsic work ethic that you do. You know, the one that motivates you to come to work and give it your all every day.

Finding ways to get your employees actively motivated, or to keep them motivated, is extremely challenging and draining at times.

It requires time and effort on your part - time and effort you may not feel like you have.

But let me tell you, the benefits of having an engaged staff are undeniable.

When you truly have a team of engaged and motivated employees, they are more productive, breed positive energy, work harder, faster and longer, and they have fun doing it.

Best of all … they won’t jump ship.

To help, our sister company ResourcefulManager created the Practical Guide For Motivating Employees - a 9-step framework to create a more productive, energized workforce.

Within the pages of our Blueprint, you'll uncover unique motivators – regardless of age group or position, plus how to:

• Identify self-motivated employees before you hire them
• Provide incentives that motivate (other than money)
• Motivate employees in difficult work situations and constant change
• Avoid the subtle stumbling blocks that undermine your motivation efforts
