Employee motivation is the single most important factor that fuels an organisation’s growth story. When you look at a successful brand, what you see is the fiercely competitive spirit that comes across through its product innovation and sustained efforts to reach out to more customers through some astute marketing. What you will not see is how the brand has seamlessly woven the threads of employee motivation into its corporate culture. Companies consistently posting profits know how to keep their employees happy and motivated. But motivating employees isn’t easy. It is a fairly complex task and there are times when even the most well-planned strategy fails to deliver the results you are looking for. I’ve already talked about some unorthodox tactics that entrepreneurs can use to motivate employees. Now, I want to delve into what is seen by employers as a foolproof method that never fails to motivate employees – the “salary raise.’’ So, here’s my question – “Does money really motivate employees or are we overestimating its importance?” On the face of it, there seems to be only one answer to this question – “Yes, it motivates employees and its importance cannot be overestimated enough.” No brainer, right? But dig a little deeper and doubts begin to surface. A tenuous bond Even if there is a link between employee motivation and a salary raise, it is shaky at best. Think about it. The happiness linked to a pay rise wears off quickly. At best, it will have a passing impact on motivation. It’s common human tendency to want more, especially when it comes to salary. The raise you are offering an employee might never be enough. Dissatisfaction with the raise might begin to creep in quickly. That can hinder motivation and performance. There is a long time between pay rises A salary uptick typically happens once a year, which means employees have to wait for a very long time between one salary appraisal and the next. Yes, your employees will be ecstatic with their salary hike but to think this state of affairs will continue till the next hike is stretching things a bit. This means you can’t depend on a pay rise alone to motivate your employees. It’s just one of the tactics that ensures the people who work for you aren’t dissatisfied with their jobs. More placation than motivation A pay hike is a means of placating employees, not a means of motivating them. It keeps them in good humour; that’s it. Salary improvement can result in employees approaching their work with renewed vigour, but only for a short spell. After that, it’s back to square one. I believe sustained employee engagement, respect, dignity, continuous learning, delegation, autonomy, accountability and responsibility to be far more effective motivational factors compared to a pay hike. Don’t get me wrong – it’s important that employees are paid fairly but to think this will motivate them to perform better at their job is a tad unfair. The reason why they are getting a raise is because they deserve it forall the good work they’ve done through the year, not because it will help them improve their performance. “Better performance” can be seen as an ancillary benefit that might or might not happen. If you use a salary raise purely as a motivational factor, you might even end up rewarding non-performing employees. What works is sustained effort Salary increases should be just a part of your overall motivation strategy. Rewards are important but they are not the be-all and end-all of employee motivation. You must make sustained efforts to make it easy for your employees to succeed and keep growing every day on the job. This is what will motivate them to work for your organisation and deliver their best. As can be imagined, this is a continuous effort and not something that can be taken care of once a year by offering employees a salary raise. www.entrepreneur.com |

Electricity distribution companies in the country are enriching themselves corruptly through the issuance of estimated bills to consumers, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission. This is following complaints by consumers who decried the over 100 per cent rise in their bills for the month of October, a development which was not commensurate with the actual supply of electricity. Reacting to consumers’ concerns during a radio call-in programme monitored by our correspondent in Abuja on Wednesday morning, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, said the distribution companies were being mischievous by not metering customers but extorting them. Asked to explain why the October bill increased by over 100 per cent, Amadi said, “We talk about estimated billing, which has now become a synonym for corruption among the Discos, the truth of the matter is that some distribution companies are still indiscriminately inflating the bills of consumers and that is part of what we are tackling. “Because they’ve not metered these consumers, they use the opportunity to extort their customers. The bill for last month increased and there has not been significant improvement between the power supply of last month and that of this month. Also, NERC has not increased tariffs; so, clearly, something is happening. “What is happening is that the Discos are now moving higher to make more revenue by overcharging unmetered consumers and that is one area we are going to be tackling them. It is not going to be easy because we don’t have an empirical formula of knowing who has been exploited, but we will find a way. That is why we say consumers should complain to us through our forum offices for we are ready to get to the heart ofthis.” Reacting to the claims that there were enough meters in the country and that the Discos had refused to buy them because of their desire to extort consumers through estimated billing, Amadi said it was not NERC’s responsibility to prescribe meters to operators. He said, “NERC is supposed to provide certification to importers, manufacturers and installers of meters across the country. We’ve put out a very transparent process by asking those who have meters to get them certified. So, there’s a procedure for certification and we have Nigerian companies that have also been certified as well as those who are importers. “And we’ve published in the newspapers a full list of all the companies, including those that manufacture, import and install. And we also gave to every Disco the full list ofcompanies that have been certified. “It is right to say that there are meters in Nigeria and it is the responsibility of the Discos to ensure that the meters are certified by NERC; and if they are functional, the Discos should use them and meter customers. We are the regulator, we don’t prescribe to the operators.” On whether there were reasons why a distribution company would choose not to use meters produced in the country, Amadi said there were complaints that they were easily being bypassed by consumers. He said, “There are about three or four meter manufacturers in Nigeria. But let me say that under our local content regulation that is about to start, we indicated that we should use Nigerian meters as long as they are compliant with the rules. “Now, see what is happening! Some companies like Eko Disco have come to us to say that consumers are bypassing some of the meters because of their degree of smartness. This is because meters have differentlevels of smartness and truly, some consumers bypass meters and disrupt their functionality. So, they said they would like to get smart meters.” www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nerc-accuses-electricity-firms-of-inflating-bills/ |

vanunu: |
vanunu:lolz, Gej got what he deserve, 1. was there any public enlightenment prior to the subsidy remover the masses were not carry along, is as simple as that. 2.you dnt jst wake up one day and remove subsidy jst like that, rendering the masses impotent. my broda, tinz are nt done that way. Gej oath to know better Gej took the right step in the wrong direction, firstly there shld be public enlightenment, , let the masses knw the lng tym gain and the immediate effect the removal will av on them, again you dnt jst remove all at once, you do it step by step, it might take the Gov two to three yrs to remove the subsidy, and during those period gov will strive hard to put tinz in place to reduce or caution the effect of the subsidy removal on the masses. during the enlightenment, you will let the masses knw how much will be ok, that is your final target like then which is 140. then tell them the process of removing it, that on dis date, such amount will be remove, again after 6-9mnth again such amount will be remove again, till u get to your final destination, the masses are already aware of it. they will be the one anxiously waiting for the date to come, not for we to wake up on a new yr day that everybody is celebrating and you jst dis out the bad news, and you wnt the masses to clap for you that you have done well. it is absurd. |
let me start by saying, I support nobody here either GEJ, PDP or APC. the truth jst have to be told, first is corruption, inconsistent policy at different angle of gov parastatals, agency. secondly, gov has no business wit the industry, either FG or STATE. it shld be run independently, and oil companies remit taxes to giv pocket, gov shld only be concerned abt their tax, dat all. bt bcause of corruption, FG can allow d industry to be. thirdly is total deregulation of the oli section, bth downstream and upstream.. jst like the telecom sectir. no gov interference at any level, gov agency jst need to make them abide by rules and regulation. that all. let tyem ff thise three tin, and you will see that the oil giant in the world will scramble ontop each other to have a refinery here in our country, the like of BP, total, shell, CNPC, and a whole lot of oil magnate will fall in. we all knw hw much a min call was bak in year 2000, bt now with 10, even less, we can mak a minute call. NOTE. wen I mean total deregulation., I mean gov shld remive his hand completely, and let investors take charge, they shld go wit their useless subsidy, thit we will feel it for like two yr or more, but on the lng run, blive me, prices of PMS AGO and the likes, will comes down very well, we might even be buying it at less than #50. |
