We talk about motivation a lot at Management 3.0, but today we thought it would be interesting to discuss how to keep long-time employees engaged. In today’s culture where people don’t stay at jobs longer than a few years, this might sound like an odd thing to focus on, however there are still plenty of ‘old-timers’ in companies and it’s important that they feel engaged and stay motivated. So what can you do?

#1: Give people something to look forward to: If you’ve been doing something for a long time it can become monotonous and feel like groundhog day and this results in boredom and stagnancy and disengagement. People need to have something to look forward to, something different, dynamic and something that makes them feel alive. This could be introducing a new event for employees at work, a new perk, a new way of doing things, or even a competition to partake in.

#2: Keep people stimulated with knowledge: People need to feel like they’re learning and growing. That can come in the form of offering courses, workshops, investing in education that employees want to do, or it can come in other forms. Learning can mean making extra time to sit with a colleague and explain a new of doing something. Going over their work and pushing them to think differently about how they approached an issue. There are many ways to stimulate people through knowledge, the important thing is to make sure the options are available and people are willing to put in the time to help colleagues grow.
