In the workplace, motivation levels among your team members will vary. While 'extrinsic' factors like promotions and wage increases are well-known motivators, 'intrinsic' drivers are often overlooked. To build a motivated team, it's crucial to recognise both.

Extrinsic Motivations

Extrinsic motivators, such as salary reviews, promotion opportunities, or simple recognition, foster a sense of accomplishment and drive continuous improvement.

While these external rewards are important, they only scratch the surface of what truly motivates employees.

Intrinsic Motivations

Every team member is motivated by distinct intrinsic factors, such as personal development, engagement, and satisfaction.

How Team Building Can Unlock Your Teams Motivation

Personal Development Opportunities: Team-building activities can provide opportunities for personal growth and skill development. Through problem-solving challenges or leadership exercises, team members have the chance to enhance their abilities and expand their horizons, unlocking their full potential.

Engagement and Connection: Team building experiences foster a sense of belonging and connection among team members. By participating in shared experiences and overcoming obstacles together, employees feel more engaged with their work and their colleagues, leading to enhanced motivation.

Recognition and Appreciation: Team building experiences emphasise the importance of recognising and appreciating each team member's contributions. By highlighting individual strengths and accomplishments, a culture of appreciation and support is reinforced, boosting morale and motivation.

Prioritising motivation lays the groundwork for a culture of excellence within your team. Content and motivated employees provide great customer service, increase productivity, and deliver better results for your company.
