Dear HR, Training &
L&D Department,
Can Telling Stories Uplift your Employees Motivation?
I recalled my childhood days
of my dad telling me stories until i reached the age of teenage hood.
Believe it or not, his stories was so powerful that it gives me a lift on my
inner strength (my feelings, my thoughts, my soul) the entire day.
Looking back at my previous 2 articles on stories, i wanted to link the way how
by sharing stories (your personal stories, other people stories, company brand
stories ) can transform some small change within your employee.
So here are 2 tips
on how you can use your stories to uplift your employees motivation.
1.
Firstly, as a HR, L&D Head and Training Head before you go zooming into
telling stories, firstly you need to know how to maintain enthusiasm of your people, which
I am sharing with you 4 goals which is vital for all employees seeking to work
productively:
a.
ü Equity: To be respected and to be treated
fairly in areas such as pay, benefits, and job security. Solution: Stay true as a people person and
research best ways on Equity.
ü Achievement: To be proud of one's job,
accomplishments, and employer. Solution: Try
to say ‘Good Job’ often
ü Camaraderie: To have good, productive
relationships with fellow employees.
Solution: Try having a smiling face.
2.
Telling short stories
to
your employees takes roughly 3 to 5 mins. With Questions from your
employee will probably take another 5 mins.
a.
ü Focus on signature stories (an event, an experience or a
person) that is core to who you are and transformation of how your story can
uplift your employee.
In
conclusion:
Definition
of stories by 2 marketing Professors from UC Berkley & Stanford University
Business School:
Signature
stories are a powerful way to gain awareness, communicate, persuade, change
behaviour and precipitate discussions. They are almost always far more
efficient and impactful than simply communicating facts or features.
Making
your stories unforgettable will provide an impact to your employees and uplift
their spirits to work harder and wiser for your company.
