Motivation at workplace.

Introduction
The job of a manager in the workplace is to guide and help employees to get things done. Managers cannot do anything if their employees are not motivated to do so. So they always have to look for new ways of increasing motivation among employees. Money is not always the best motivator, people also need to be recognized and appreciated.
According to Pritchard and Ashwood (2008) motivation can be described as someone’s willing to perform well to accomplish their task.
Motivation is always intrinsic-it is inside us. People are always motivated to do what is in their best interests and meets their desired ends. So” when employees identify their own welfare with that of the organisation, they will naturally work harder” (Bruce and Pepitone, 1999). Managers’ job is to create a workplace where employees feel good about them and can enjoy the work they do.
This report shows the effect of motivation on organisational performance on the example of Tie Rack Company. Tie Rack is a British-based tie-retailer company founded by Roy Bishko in 1981.
Main body 1. Tie Rack uses several ways of influencing employee motivation, which can be described as follows:
Designing incentives for employees that results in higher performance levels and happier employees. For example, all sales representatives get 50% discount at Tie Rack. Additionally, shop staff gets discount cards for the nearest restaurants where they can go during lunch breaks.
Recognition and attention. Sending thank you cards or e-mail when employees accomplish their task can motivate employees even without spending money. Shopping centres are always very busy on holidays and weekends, so makes people working there very tired and unwilling to work. So in order to motivate employee company should look after its staff in a way it expect them to look after its customers.
