...Employee Portfolio: Motivation Action Plan MGT/311 June 30, 2013 Abstract Motivation is the process that determines how hard an individual works to achieve a goal. There are several modern theories of motivation that will help managers meet the motivational needs of their employees. Using the most appropriate theory of motivation will ensure that the motivational strategy and action plan selected will be effective and achieve the desired results. Keeping employees motivated will help the organization run smoothly and efficiently. Employee Portfolio: Motivation Action Plan Of the several modern motivational theories that are currently used, three have been selected to create a motivational action plan for the Riordan employees. Each plan is designed to help motivate the individual employee and keep them functioning at their highest level of quality. The motivational theory that has been selected for Jami is the self-determination theory. This theory is based on the belief that people need or want to control their own actions. The motivational action plan follows this theory by giving Jami some decision-making power. The action plan also offers verbal acknowledgment of the work that she performs. These actions will help keep Jami motivated and encourage her to strive for greater success. The motivational theory that best fits with the personality characteristics of Breana is the goal-setting theory. This theory focuses on the belief that by giving an employee...

...Employee Portfolio: Motivation Plan of Action Summary MGT/311 Employee Portfolio: Motivation Plan of Action Summary Motivation plays an important role when it pertains to professional development in employees. The management team at Riordan Manufacturing is currently in week three of an assessment period of three employees. The purpose of these assessments has been to try to understand the employees’ state of emotion, characteristic traits, and job engagement. Week three focuses on motivational techniques and a plan of action that is specifically designed for each employee evaluated based on the employee self-assessment survey taken two weeks earlier. Personality Traits It has been documented in these assessments that just because an employee is unhappy with his or her current job state do not necessarily mean that he or she does not show a sense of pride in the work to be completed. Laura, for example displayed dissatisfaction with her current job state and the wages, but given a task to complete, this employee dedicates a great deal of her time to ensure that the project is completed in detail as well as on time. Linda is a devoted employee who shows management that she is a self-starter and often completes tasks without requiring direction to do so. The issue management has with this is often the task gets started and completed without added guidance if needed. Olivia, though improving, has shown supervisors contempt toward...

Riordan has an extensive employee portfolio management system with files on its employees to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of employees, and allows for reviewing their wide range of activities related to the organizations goals (Portfolio Management, 2013). Three employees were selected to take self-assessments to identify the best ways to manage them. These employees took three assessments labeled, How Satisfied I Am with My Job, What are My Emotional Intelligence Score, and Am I Deliberate Decision Maker assessments. After completion of the assessments an Employee Portfolio was created for each employee. The portfolio is used to make recommendations to help in developing the employees, and their individual characteristics are examined to show how they will benefit the performance of the organization. The three employees selected are Mary Tran, Young-Sook Phin, and Mary Napier. Mary Tran shows a general satisfaction with her job. To increase her job satisfaction to above average, management will need to pursue what exactly is the reason for her decline in performance.

...Employee Portfolio Motivation: Riordan Manufacturing Deanice Delamar MGT/311 April 8, 2013 Instr. Scott Employee Portfolio Motivation: Riordan Manufacturing As a manager of Riordan Manufacturing it is essential to motivate my employees and ensure that they are having a happy workplace. Fair compensation is a strong motivator as well as offering inexpensive gift cards or certificate of appreciation. At Riordan, the staff encourages open and honest communication as another essential motivational strategy. These three employees are among the ones chosen for this motivation action plan. When using the assessments to evaluate the three employees to maximize their potential.

Try to focus on the things that they are best at and coach them to apply those skills and talents to other tasks. This will empower your teammate and hopefully give them ideas on how to leverage their strengths better. Employees should receive at least two positive feedbacks and one in ways that they can improve in areas that need improvement.
