Executive Summary
The purpose of this report was to examine how employees can be motivated in recessionary times. Research for this report included using reliable internet sources, class notes and looking through books in the library.
When researching information on the internet I made sure that the only websites I used to produce this report were accurate ones. Although this was hard to do, I made sure that they were not ones that could be changed by any member of the public. On the internet I found a lot of very interesting information about how to motivate employees in recessionary times.
I also used the hand out that we had received in our principles of management class. I found that this gave me a guideline to follow and what the main points where when motivating employees.
The library facility was also very helpful, but I found that using the online library facility was more beneficial to me. It made it easier to get the information and a lot faster than having to look through a lot of books.
