"Motivating Employees” a discussion of M.Azim Ulfati

 Determine how you could best motivate employees (or students) in an environment that suffers from economic distress. Provide specific examples leveraging the concepts and the expected resultant benefits to support your response.

There are many ways to motivate employees, as we all know all human are different from the perspective of likes, dislikes, pros and cons and there can be many factors that can contribute to their level of job or education. It can be satisfaction, happiness, career aspiration, challenges, money and stress. An employee of a company who suffers from economic stress, it is possible to motivate him/her through employee coaching, incentive money, healthy relationship with bosses and co-workers, rising of his/her wage, stress management and a great leadership roles based on the situation of the person.

I guess all of the above subjects play its own role based on the situation or mode of a person in his/her life.

For example, I had a friend who was married with two kids. For the first time when he moved to the USA, he had lots of problems, he got his Green Card and he started working in a restaurant. He was not able to pay all his bills, feed and well take care of his family to the best possible way. He was suffering due to economical distress. He needed lots of help in order to support his family and he came to me one day to help and find him a better job. I advised and encouraged him to deploy overseas and get a job as a linguist and use his linguistic skills in order to get rid of this economical stress. He was not interested to deploy overseas but when I told him about the great incentive money or bonuses he decided to make a decision and deploy overseas. I referred him to one of the recruiters to process his paper work and give him a job. Any way, he got a job. He was very happy and excited to get the first bonus within the few month of deployment and later on he started to get incentive money after every six months. He worked hard and did an excellent job to get the bonuses. After working for a while he forgot economical stress, he became rich and he faced with family relationship stress for being a way from his wife and kids and at the same time he faced with stress due to hazard, and hardship at the front line of war and he suffered a lot. The company started to give advise and support his family in the USA to keep their relationship healthy and at the same time he had to go to some stress control and anger management classes but that did not help

The company finally was not also be able to keep the relationship of this person healthy with his family in a good way and then this guy had to quit his job and return back to family to rebuild his relationship with his family. Thus there are many factors that can motivate human and affect once life.
