Managing a company requires you to consider what motivates your employees and use this to improve staff performance.

To know how to motivate your employees it's important to recognise the theories behind Motivation, for example the Two Factor Theory (see image) by Hertzberg and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

The Hierarchy of Needs states that everyone has fives levels of needs that need to be met before a person can be motivated. The five levels are as follows:

Basic
Security
Social
Self-Esteem
Self-actualisation

As a manager if you meet the needs and also provide factors from the two factor theory, such as recognition and achievement you should have a motivated workforce.
