Employees want to know that manages realize their full potential in the work place. Meeting the needs of employees give the organization better workers who take pride in the company they work for.
The best way to do this is by giving an example of motivation in action when working in a restaurant as a cook the manager did all the training of employees. Mr. Andrews first step was hire a person that needed a job and was willing to work hard. Although she cooked at home it was a big difference for her since this was her first job since her children were little. She had been everywhere looking for work but no one was willing to take a chance on her. By hiring her, he gave her self-esteem a lift he also told her he had confidence that she would do a great job. By hiring her he knew that she would work hard as well as do the best she could, and be more willing to learn all aspects of the business. The fact that she went from no income to an income filled the personal need of providing for her family as well as the self-esteem need by his faith in her ability to do the job. “ By providing a level of pay that enables a person to buy food and clothes and have adequate housing.” ( Jones & George2011) After two weeks training she was places on the night shift from ten pm to six am this gave her chance to enhance her ability as a cook since it was a slow paced shift.
Mr. Andrews used the employees on each shift to assist him in evaluating the employee’s ability to work well with others as well as how well they did their job on that shift. By
