Imagine you are the manager of a successful graphic design business with a staff of 20 employees. Productivity and employee morale seem to be at an all-time high. Employees seem to be quite happy with their work, and they are always working hard to meet deadlines and produce exceptional work.

Your company's workload is heavy and you have many large and important clients.

Your objective is to keep this high level of productivity and morale with your staff. Describe what you would do to encourage your staff to continue to work hard and stay as productive as possible. You also want to make sure your staff members are happy and are always in good spirits, but also don't want them to be too social and wasting company time. How do you ensure that a good healthy balance is achieved?

As the manager what do you do to keep this group happy, productive, and motivated?

Prepare a two-page written business report outlining:

-What actions will you take?

-How/why will those actions keep your employees happy, productive, and motivated?

-Make connections to the theories of motivation you examined in this activity (Maslow, ERG, Herzberg) in order to support your suggestions.

-Even though your employees might be quite different (ages, sex, ethnicity, backgrounds, etc.), how will you ensure they all stay motivated equally?

-Explain the relationship that exists between your motivation strategies, employee rewards, and job performance.
