Personalised Motivation for Retaining Employees that are Critical to Business Success

It is no secret that South Africa is faced with a critical shortage of skilled employees in leadership, managerial and specialist positions and professions. Organisations' strategy for retaining and motivating these valuable employees relies on increasing remuneration packages, providing additional training opportunities or giving incentives and share options. Research puts the lie to the success of these measures.

The hard fact is that scarce talent is on the move, and it is poached. Organisations lose out before return on hard investment or value-add from the employee. Today we can with 90% accuracy measure specific factors that indicate whether or not the employee is going to stay in the organisation and to what degree they will add the value that you contracted them for.   If you want to win the talent war, you need to be one step ahead of generalised or even generic management techniques.

Fulcrum Motivation Architecturing is a welcome tool that provides a hands-on personalised strategy to retain, motivate and manage a particular employee. It provides the manager of such an employee with a clear and practical way to unlock the full potential of that employee by using his/her personalised 'menu' for being motivated. It ensures a perfect match between the motivational needs of the individual and what is offered by the organisation.

Our strategy provides a prioritised list of the most important and urgent drivers for workplace motivation for that individual. It provides precise motivational language and communication style that fits the ThinkDo-Gears of that individual. It provides for a coaching session for the manager of that valuable employee, so that the strategy can be effectively implemented. Never before has talent management been so precise, sensible and cost-effective. Use hard edged accuracy where it counts. This is 'Technology' for processing People!

  • Our motivation architects develop a custom-designed solution that has its roots in your specific business environment, culture and priorities. Our aim is to support your present change interventions and strategic objectives, so that our intervention will add value and provide excellent ROI.
  • You identify from the top 5% of your organisation those who are key employees. Pinpoint the valuable talent that you cannot afford to lose to the competition. The cost of unnecessary incentives/remuneration increases, and the cost of replacing these employees, could be 10 times the cost of experiencing a Motivation Architecturing intervention for them.
  • The selected employee does an Identity Compass questionnaire and receives an individual 90-minute feedback session of their personal filters, performance drivers, ThinkDo-Gears, Values and Job-Motivation Indicators. The employee would also complete an advanced Individual Motivation Profile to determine the specific tangible workplace indicators that drive his/her motivation. These indicators are prioritised in terms of urgency and importance, giving the organisation a very specific and actionable plan for motivating and managing that person. This is not playing the hype guessing game of Values. This is using 'hidden' drivers that are already active and critical to the individual's motivation or de-motivation. Would it help you to know how to influence them and turn them on for retaining your scarce talent?
  • From the above information the Motivation Architect creates a unique Retention, Motivation and Management strategy and report which includes the very specific locked in habits that the person utilises. It indicates how to communicate to the person to attain optimal performance, specific management strategies for the person, what values to use as criteria words/workplace motivators, what areas of job motivation to address and the 10 most important and urgent tangible job motivators that have to be in the workplace to retain that employee.
  • The Motivation Architect then makes an appointment with the Manager of the selected employee and provides a coaching and clarification session on the implementation of the report.
  • We are there to support you as you apply new ways of working with people.

Personalised Motivational strategies get far more out of people than presupposing that one size fits all!
