Saviour Management Consultancy

This is in reference to your request for recommendations for motivating employees at Royal Oil Company. My firm, Saviour Management Consultancy, is pleased to offer its services in this regard. Below you will find a brief summary of the recommendations report we have already mailed to Mr. Christopher Kassel, HR Manager, Royal Oil Company, as per your request.

It is a well-known fact that employees are motivated by money, interesting job descriptions, and co-workers who make their organisation a fun place to work. Another way of motivating employees is for your company to ensure that its missions are spelled out. In fact, the mission of each task must be explained to employees in simple terms.

Recognition is an important motivator, too. Whenever an employee or a team performs a good job, your company should make a public announcement. Awards should also be handed out, and managers should mention the productive effort of a high achieving employee or team whenever there is an opportunity. In point of fact, the successes of your employees andor teams must be celebrated by your company. We further advise you to motivate your employees by making them feel that although they have reached the top, they are still climbing the mountain of success. At Saviour Management Consultancy, we refer to this approach as the maintenance of balance between challenge and achievement.

Yet another way to motivate your employees is to understand their personalities, based on which you may determine their needs. Typically there are seven kinds of employees
Commanders are employees that seek control,
Drifters require flexibility,
Attackers require respect,
Pleasers need appreciation,
Performers require recognition,
Avoiders require security, and
Analyticals require certainty.


This need theory of motivation is built upon the fact that the fulfillment of your employees needs is enough to motivate them. There are different ways to motivate the seven types of employees. The commanders among employees, for example, must have their work linked to results in order to feel that they are in control. If these individuals lack a sense of being in charge, they would be unmotivated. Likewise, the drifters in the workplace should be given free rein to express their creativity, without which they may be unmotivated to work efficiently.

Derived from organizational research, all of the above recommendations are successful tools to increase employee motivation. We would be honored to offer our services in the implementation of these tools at your organisation. Please feel free to contact us again.
