Background Information
This theme addresses the extent to which employees feel they are motivated by senior management in their organization, as opposed to their direct manager, teammates, or other factors.
While other themes explore the impact of direct relationships on employees, this theme examines how motivated employees are by the directives and actions of high-level management.
Why is this Important?
To consistently meet and surpass organizational objectives, employee motivation is extremely important.
Motivated employees are more likely to stay on task and achieve higher levels of output. Additionally, they are more focused on selfdevelopment and goal setting.
Over time, this can greatly improve employee effectiveness and have a positive impact on teammates.

Recognition and Reciprocity
There are times when all organizations need to ask employees to go above and beyond the norm. When employees come through, senior management should recognize this through tangible extra perks and rewards. From small gestures like a pizza lunch to bonuses and extra time off, motivation improves when efforts are rewarded.
