Welcome to the 2015 Mazars External Employee Motivation Survey. This is the second year that
we have undertaken a survey on employee motivation levels in the Irish marketplace. This year
we extended our coverage to over 500 employees in Ireland.
Understanding employee motivation is imperative for organisations as it is linked to customer satisfaction, organisational performance, the achievement of organisational
goals and the level of staff turnover. Last year we gathered insights into what motivates and demotivates employees. This helped to identify how to get the best out of
employees and improve levels of motivation.
This year we were interested to see the impact that the improvement in the Irish economy had on levels of employee motivation. A strong economy often creates a mobile
workforce with greater employee expectations in terms of role, recognition and reward. For employers this means creating an environment that provides challenging
opportunities for employees while at the same time meeting their expectations. As organisations gear up to take advantage of the growth in the economy, having a strong
motivated workforce is important to ensure business objectives are achieved, absenteeism levels are kept low and productivity and turnover levels are satisfactory.
We hope you find this report a valuable tool for helping to motivate and inspire employees. We would like to thank the many people who have contributed to this survey for
your time and insight.
If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised in this report, please get in touch.

ABOUT THE
PARTICIPANTS
We have seen a significant increase in the number of employees that are either motivated or very motivated this year in comparison to the prior year survey. This is an
indication, perhaps, that people across the Irish economy are experiencing a more positive outlook either in the economy or in their careers. A motivated workforce brings with
it significant benefits for employers including increased productivity, energy, commitment, creativity and responsibility. When an employee is motivated their expectations can be
raised in terms of the desire for more challenging work, the variety of work they do, seeking promotion opportunities and financial rewards. The employer needs to meet these
expectations. If the employer does not meet these expectations, employees can move to other organsiations where their expectations/demands can be met. This move is easier
when the market is buoyant.

88% of respondents in the private sector are either motivated

level of employee motivation is higher in the private sector
than it is in the public / not-for-profit sector as the impact
of the recession continues to have a strong influence on the
public / not-for-profit sectors with pay, recruitment and
promotion freezes. Furthermore, employers in these sectors
have considerably less flexibility than their private sector
counterparts to implement motivation initiatives like reward
and recognition programmes and financial incentives.

There is very little variance when motivation levels by gender are examined.
87% of male respondents and 84% of female respondents report being
motivated or very motivated as they go about their daily work. This is a very
positive indicator as it demonstrates there are no specific issues associated
with gender and the level of motivation in the workforce. For an employer
it is important to consider gender when motivating the team around you.
Motivation levels can vary over the course of a career and can be influenced
significantly by life inside and outside of the work place. Male or female
employees can be driven by the desire for challenging work, promotions
etc. or equally may decide they have reached a point in their career and are
happy with the level of progression they have reached. Demotivation can
often occur when an employer makes a decision that impacts something
that the employee deems as non-negotiable. An example of this is the
requirement to work longer hours on a regular basis which impacts their
work life balance. A change like this can impact equally on either gender and
how the employer communicates the change can have a significant bearing
on the level of motivation.

Employees between the ages of 18 and 24 and employees over the age of 55 are the most motivated. The expectations and demands of employees can
change over the span of their career. At the early stages of a career the focus is on development and career building and the employer is a catalyst
to achieving this. It is not surprising therefore, that there are higher levels of motivation in this age group. From 25-44, there are greater external
pressures in terms of family, purchasing a house etc. and the focus of the employee can change from intrinsic to extrinsic factors, for example financial
rewards. At the same time however, the demands of their role typically have increased and so too are the demands and expectations of their employer.
Maintaining motivation levels can be a little more difficult during these career stages. Often employees between the ages 45 and 55+ have settled into
their career, expectations and demands are realistic and therefore the motivation levels can often be higher. This is reflected in the results of the survey
with 90% of employees between the ages of 45 and 54 being either very motivated or motivated and 100% of employees over the age of 55 being either
very motivated or motivated.

The initial engagement with the employer (0-3 years), the greater the expectations of that employer, particularly in the context of
rewarding employee loyalty. While an employee may remain motivated the level of motivation can wain where opportunities for
challenging work, reward etc. are not being met. While remaining motivated, external opportunities i.e. a new role can be attractive
and can present challenges in retaining employees.

ABOUT MOTIVATING FACTORS
Promotion Prospects
Employees between the ages of 25 and 44 rank promotion prospects as their highest
motivating factors, despite this being considered the lowest motivating factor overall.
Employees within this age profile are seeking to be challenged, and promotions
provide this opportunity while also offering the potential to raise their profile, increase
their earning capacity and gain the experience that will stand to them as they
progress their career. The promotion in itself is a means to an end but brings multiple
motivational benefits.
Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is again ranked as the highest motivating factor for employees in this
year’s survey. 67% of the respondents to last year’s survey also believed that this was
a key motivating factor for them. Job satisfaction is the highest motivational factor
across all age groups and all organisation types. It is also the highest motivational
factor for both males and females. Job satisfaction as a motivational driver presents
both an opportunity and challenge for employers. Job satisfaction is a result, in many
ways, of offering employees a role that provides the opportunity for them to feel valued
and add value in their day to day working lives. However, meeting this demand on a
continuous basis can be challenging for employers, as an employee’s career with an
organisation can span many years.
Work Life Balance
Work life balance is considered more important this year than it was last year, with
44% of respondents citing this as a key motivational factor. Work life balance was
equally prioritised by both men and women and demonstrates a shift in focus for a
market that is beginning to stabilise allowing employees to regain focus on priorities
outside of their role, rather than on the role itself. In a more stable environment, work
life balance and other well-being focused initiatives begin to get greater attention from
employees. For employers this means that there needs to be an increased level of
visibility in this area. There is often divided opinion on flexible working options that can
be made available to employees, but with the right supports, processes and oversight
in place, flexible working can be very effective in improving work life balance options
and increasing productivity and morale.
Financial Benefits
It is interesting to see that as the Irish economy improves, financial benefits are
now seen as an important motivational factor. Nearly half of the respondents of the
survey believe that financial benefits are a key motivational factor, while only 31%
of respondents of last year’s survey believed that it was a key motivational factor.
Furthermore, 62% of respondents to the survey believe that employers should
focus more on financial benefits to help increase employee motivation levels. The
employment market has become increasingly active in the last 12 months after a long
period of stagnancy. Employees are still feeling the impact of the recession with pay
freezes and pay cuts, increasing their monthly/annual take home pay is now getting
more attention. Employees are seeking a fair reward for delivering results. Employers
need to consider the financial benefits package offered to their employees in terms of
the current market rates.
Achievement of Business Goals
The good news for employers is that the achievement of business goals is the 4th
main motivating factor according to employees. This reinforces the need for employers
to ensure there is a strong alignment between an employee’s individual goals
and those of the organisation. This is a very simple principle that is often
missed, if it is not structured and planned in a coherent way.

ABOUT DEMOTIVATING
FACTORS
Over half (56%) of the respondents believe that a lack of praise and recognition is
a demotivating factor. This was also the highest demotivating factor in last year’s
survey (51%). Nearly half (49%) of respondents believe that having a demotivating
management style is a demotivating factor. 59% of the respondents to last year’s
survey also believed this to be the case. In addition, 44% of respondents believe that
not dealing with the unsatisfactory performance of others is a demotivating factor.
This was 47% last year.
It is interesting to note that the top three demotivating factors reflect leadership
/ management style. A demotivating management style reflects the behaviours
and actions of a manager and is linked very closely to not providing recognition
or praise and not dealing with the unsatisfactory performance of others. Ways
to help ensure management style is more motivational for employees includes
ensuring that there is equity in workloads, clearly defined expectations in terms
of deliverables and behaviours, formal and informal feedback on work and
recognition of work completed. These items are all in the control and influence of
the organisation and the leaders / managers and are not dependent on the external
environment.
Leadership and Management teams should consider the following key
questions:
• Are we consistent in our approach to managing people?
• Are we rewarding the preferred behaviours?
• Are we equipped with the right management and leadership skills?
• Are our support processes effective in balancing the needs of
managers and employees?

ABOUT MANAGEMENT’S ROLE
Training and development is clearly being used by employers to increase motivation. This was a similar trend last year. The good news for
employees is that employers are seeking to prioritise salary increases and recognition and reward programmes. This is typical in a market
that is becoming increasingly buoyant as the economy improves.
Other mechanisms respondents believe that employers should prioritise to help improve motivation levels, include:
• Enhanced communication and feedback,
• Recognising employee efforts and reward accordingly,
• Focusing on team building,
• Enabling employees to get more involved in strategy development and decision making, and
• Performance management.
Motivating people is made easier with support frameworks that reinforce communication and engagement. Implementing some or all of the mechanisms above give mutual
opportunities for managers and staff to build engagement, a bi-product of a motivated team. An effective performance management system (which can take various formats,
including linking to reward and recognition) can provide a mechanism for communication, feedback and engagement. This process can help reinforce good performance and
give managers an opportunity to deal with below standard performance. Similarly, team building is important to develop a strong and cohesive team ethos. A strong team ethos
is proven to increase morale, productivity and business results.
Developing a team ethos can be achieved when action is taken to build the following within the team:
• Goal clarity – are the team clear on the plan? What are they working towards?
• Role clarity – is each team member clear on their role in helping to achieve the plan?
• Process – are the processes in place to facilitate goal and role clarity; planning, communication, performance management etc.?
• Dynamic – are the team relationships effective in terms of the quality of interpersonal engagement, trust and openness?

• The importance of financial benefits in motivating employees is increasing. After
a long period of stagnancy the employment market is becoming more fluid with
employees increasing their focus on the financial benefits relating to their role.
Achieving this with their current employer or with a new employer will be at the
forefront of their mind. Employers need to consider the financial rewards they
offer to their employees. This should be undertaken in the context of market rates,
changes to pay in the last number of years, and employees of critical importance to
the organisation.

DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE
Tapping the potential of an already motivated leadership and management team,
with the right skills can have a corresponding impact on people, processes,
productivity and business results.
• Job satisfaction was rated as the main motivating factor – therefore employers
must learn what drives each individual team member. Providing informal and formal
mechanisms for communication and engagement will help provide an opportunity
for employers to deepen their understanding of the personal satisfaction drivers of
employees.
• As the economy improves, it is no surprise that job security is no longer considered
a top priority for employees. Losing critical team members presents a number of
business challenges in terms of business/customer continuity, loss of organisational
knowledge and expertise, as well as having a negative impact on morale and
productivity. In some cases it can be a positive experience for the employer as it
encourages change and refocus. Employers need to develop strategies to retain
people, capture organisation knowledge and plan for succession.
• Motivating employees does not have to be costly, e.g. challenging employees,
recognising their contribution, providing feedback, involving them in decisionmaking, communicating business goals and empowering them are important,
achievable and can be delivered with minimum investment.
• There is a misalignment between the mechanisms that are being used to motivate
employees and the mechanisms that employees believe will motivate staff. We
have seen that employers are largely focusing on training and development as a key
mechanism for motivating employees. However, employees are seeking financial
rewards and recognition and reward programmes to increase their motivation
levels. While this might be a challenge for employers, it is important to engage with
employees on these areas.
• A key reason for employees staying in their current job is the fact that they are
being provided with challenging and interesting work. This is important and an easy
motivating tactic for employers. Stretching objectives i.e. agreeing objectives with
employees that are achievable but will challenge them and at the same time support
their career development and growth can be mutually beneficial. It demonstrates
the organisation’s commitment to the development of their employees’ potential.
• Motivated employees are more likely to recommend their organisation to others
as a great place to work. Our research shows that two-thirds of respondents would
recommend their organisation as a great place to work. The more motivated an
employee, the greater chance an organisation has that their employees will talk
positively about their experience in the organisation. This can bring multiple positive
benefits including enhanced market reputation which can impact both on business
results and the recruitment of high calibre employees.
• Employers need to recognise the link between their management style and key
motivating / demotivating factors – the top three demotivating factors identified by
employees reflect leadership / management style. This can be influenced directly
by the leadership and management team in an organisation. Development of
management and leadership skills is definitely an area worthy of focus in 2015.
