Just make them feel that you see and appreciate their work and the next thing you know, they will feel more excited to work.

4. PROVIDE TRAINING. Doing the same thing over and over can make them feel tired of work. Provide them the opportunity to widen their skillset by offering trainings which can be relevant to their field of work. Give them the opportunity to learn more and advance their career game.

5. MAINTAIN WORK AND LIFE BALANCE. Avoid giving them an immense amount of workload where they will have to overwork themselves even until they get home. Make your employees feel motivated by still giving them time for themselves.
