ТЕМА № 6. Reward and remuneration

Monetary and Non-monetary Motivators

Business owners need to ensure that their employees are productive and eager to do the best job possible--this is especially true during today's challenging economic times.

Money has been recognized as a chief source of satisfying the needs of people. Money is also helpful to satisfy the social needs by possessing various material items. Therefore, money not only satisfies psychological needs but also the security and social needs. Th erefore, in many factories, various wage plans and bonus schemes are introduced to motivate and stimulate the people to work. Employees clearly want as much money as possible based on their skills and experience, their past performance and their time with your business. They want additional rewards for exceptional performance, a package that enables them to live a decent lifestyle and a salary or wage that’s comparable to that of their colleagues. Money is effective when it is directly tied to an employee's ideas or accomplishments. Nevertheless, if not coupled with other, non-monetary motivators, its motivating effects are short -lived.

Study after study has found that the most effective motivators of workers are non-monetary. Monetary systems are insufficient motivators. Proven non-monetary positive motivators foster team spirit and include recognition, responsibility, and advancement. Managers who recognize the "small wins" of employees, promote participatory environments, and treat employees with fairness and respect will find their employees to be more highly motivated. The most effective rewards, such as letters of commendation and time off from work, enhanced personal fulfillment and self-respect. Over the longer term, sincere praise and personal gestures are far more effective and more economical than awards of money alone. In the end, a program that combines monetary reward systems and satisfies intrinsic, self-actualizing needs may be the most potent employee motivator

ТЕМА № 7. Industrial relations

The development of good industrial or labor relations is in the best interests of any government. Labor relations are dictated in a large part by the government of a nation and the various regulations it provides to industry regarding the treatment of employees.

Authorities outline labor rights, also known as workers' rights, to protect employees. Workers’ rights are often a matter of law and can require employers to do certain things and prevent them from doing other things. While labor rights can greatly vary from one place to another, some common examples include the right to timely payment of wages, the right to breaks, and the right to safe and humane working condition s.

The absence of labor rights could create difficult and unfair situations for employees. History holds many examples of ways employers abuse their positions. This includes forcing employees to work excessive hours without proper rest and without paying them in a proper or timely fashion. Without laws

26

to provide leverage, in many instances, people would be helpless even when they recognized the injustice of their situations.

Many workers’ rights are the result of the efforts put forth by labor unions. These are groups that act on behalf of groups of workers to ensure they are treated fairly. These groups also act as watchdogs to prevent the violation or denial of the labor rights of their members.

All employees may not have the same labor rights even though they are in the same location. In the United States (US), for example, states are generally allowed to form the majority of workers’ rights, which apply to employees within their jurisdiction.

Having several jurisdictions of workers' rights is not unique to the US. In Canada, for example, the federal government outlines some laws while provinces are granted the liberty to outline others. The European Union (EU) also outlines certain labor guidelines for its members, while allowing individual countries the authority to outline others.
