Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as the title reflects, are tools to measure performance. Measuring Employee Motivation through KPIs has a different dimension to the common business areas measured, as it measures how well the company is doing in keeping the employees motivated.
Now, whilst you can use KPIs to drive employee motivation, you can also measure how motivated your workforce is.
So let’s take it step by step.
If you want to make use of KPIs to keep your workforce motivated, you can simply adopt KPIs as part of your appraisal system and use them to measure employee’s performance. However, please ensure to be transparent and communicate those KPIs to your employees. So how does this help to keep your workforce motivated, you may ask?
SMART KPIs and a clear picture of how the individual objectives align with the organizational goals will give employees a sense of direction, position in the organization and understanding of the bigger picture. This is likely to empower and motivate employees, as they understand the value they bring to the organization.
Now, in order to measure how motivated your workforce is, KPIs are a great means of doing so. The most accurate results are those assed over longer time periods (e.g. annually).
Let’s make a list of organizational aspects that are impacted upon by employee motivation:
Organizational Performance
Workforce Costs
Organizational Competiveness
Organizational ability to cope this change
Under the common assumption that employee motivation impacts on employee performance, it could be argued that the level of employee motivation affects most if not all organizational aspects. For instance, if a service company has poorly motivated employees the likelihood is that the service is poor, customers are unsatisfied, and the company’s performance is low.
