Motivating employees is a big part of sound business strategy and a good working environment within a company that appreciates the workers and shows this appreciation via the management and tangible ways equals a successful, enduring company.Your answer to this should come from your own beliefs and experience. The only thing to keep in mind is to make sure you explain how you motivate employees at all stages of the process, not only completion. Those newer to management like to only talk about how they reward staff for performing above and beyond expectations, but they do not mention how they keep staff motivate during their work. Be ready to share an example of a recent project that required you to light the fire of motivation to get the job done.
