Motivate

=MOTIVATE =

We MOTIVATE  staff by: supporting them in every way we can. not asking staff to do something that we are not prepared to do (Mimic and Attend).

The most important element in motivating staff is involving them in every aspect of the day-to-day life of the institution, whilst listening to them and understanding their needs and the motivational factors that drive them. We must continually address the need for self-fulfillment through daily praise and demonstration that we appreciate the work of our staff. We must support staff in the setting of attainable goals and publicly recognise their attainment of these goals to meet their needs for self-esteem. By focusing on an institutional ethos of enjoyment as the central tenet of our DREAM philosophy, we can ensure that staff have a strong sense of belonging, thereby meeting this critical need. The need for a secure and stable environment should be satisfied by the terms of the contract, but the DREAM manager must always demonstrate to their staff that they are concerned for their basic welfare and responsive to any concerns that are voiced.
