Hi Cite Team,
I worked as an Operations and HR Manager in an IT Company. I am planning to send a few motivational emails to employees, including articles, PPTs, quotes, or anything motivational. The topics I want to include are:
1. Time Management
2. Error Analysis
3. General Motivation
Please help.

Dear Parul,
Whether emails motivate the employees is a moot point. Employee motivation is too complex, and motivators are embedded in the organization's culture. If there are inherent flaws in the organization's culture, then email transmissions cannot fix those flaws.
Secondly, a lot of material is already available on the internet. Even then, why would you like members of this forum to help you? Why are you not motivated enough to download it from Google?
Thanks,

Hi Parul,
You can send a "thought of the day" to employees on different topics (including the above). It will be a good way to start and connect with employees. It will also help you improve your network within the organization. Alternatively, you may also start "Friday fun teasers," which includes humor as well as some level of entertainment/motivation in the workplace.

Dear Neelima,
What you have provided is a list of "satisfiers." These are not necessarily motivators. If you wish to revise your knowledge on these two concepts, you may refer to Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory at http://www.netmba.com/mgmt/ob/motivation/herzberg/.
Employee motivation depends on the organization's culture, support from seniors/managers, and, above all, fulfillment of self-actualization needs of the individual. The last one is so important that if fulfilled, it overrides the non-availability of hygienic factors in the workplace. Why do scientists work for less pay? They are not given great facilities, at least in India. They work for less pay and with fewer facilities because their intellect is challenged at their work.
Ask yourself, is your work intellectually challenging? Pose the same question to the employees and find out their response. Many would reply, "I only work at 20-25% of my intellectual capacity." Why do they respond in this manner? What is preventing management from providing intellectually challenging work to their employees? On one side, management blames employees for not giving their best, while employees blame management for under-utilizing their capacities. When this mismatch is bridged, we witness the creation of remarkable companies like Google or Amazon.
In addition to the aforementioned three factors, I have provided a list of factors on which employee motivation depends. Should you wish to refer to my response, click the following link: https://www.citehr.com/427885-motivational-strategies.html#post1934498
