Dear All,
I am working in an automobile company where most of the employees have been with the company for about 5 years or more. Please suggest ways to motivate managers and senior managers who are above the age of 50 or thereabouts. If any kind of training is required, please suggest the type.

Dear Uma Devi,
There is no separate formula to motivate employees who are from the automobile industry and who are 50 or above. Those who are above 50 fall into various categories, and their needs are also different. Many of them will have children studying in colleges or pursuing some professional courses. Many could be worrying about their daughter's marriage. Nevertheless, their career ambition whittles down by that time. Many just go with the flow until the raft of their career attains the shore of retirement.
You have asked a query on motivation for such senior category employees, but then why did you feel that they are not motivated? At that age, they are supposed to motivate juniors. Why have things come to such a pass where the battery charger itself needs separate charging?
Do these professionals handle activities that are commensurate with their age? Are these persons oversized or overgrown workers?
Your post is too short to comment on. Please give details of your query. One cause of less motivation could be the requirement to work under younger managers. But then that is their fait accompli and cannot be redeemed as such. Another reason could be a lack of a sense of fulfillment.
Myth about Training: HR or Training Managers' job is not easy. By organizing training programs, they bring horses called employees to the water and expect the trainer to make these horses drink the water. Nevertheless, these are old horses. Perhaps they could pretend that they have drunk the nectar of training, keeping their attitude intact!
