Is your problem describing what you do? or do you in fact do nothing!

I find it difficult to believe that you do nothing
How do you encourage staff to achieve objectives?
How do you encourage staff to suggest improvements?

This could be acknowledgement on the notice board, dinner with the CEO, money.

Think about what you do- if you don't do anything then you should standard or not.

What motivates you?

Try searching this forum for motivation there are some 20 threads.
 
Is "Top Management" motivated? Do they overtly show their support and clearly communicate their reasons for supporting a defined managment system? If not, for get it. Game over.

Start at the top. Tone at the top. Their must be leadership which is one of the 8 Quality Management Principles upon which TS is based. Another principle is involvement of the employees. Involvement in design, impementation, maintenance and improvement of the system should motivate.

Dirk,

Motivation - a favorite topic of mine. Please do a 'search' of the Cove to read more about this topic. I think you'll find a great deal of information that should help you find an answer.

Remember this: motivation is intrinsic. Only you can motivate yourself.

Motivate your employees for TS implementation.


How about …if we don’t do it …..we lose every automotive account that we have.
 
We have several programs that we link to motivation.
1. Suggestion System: We have a program where employees can make improvement suggestions. Or Kaizen Team co-ordinates it. Monetary awards are given for those implemented. Suggestion boxes are located in several areas in the plant. Yeah, there are possible problems with it, like not everyone pays attention to it, but we do have suggestions that get awarded.
2. Perfect Attendance Awards: We give walmart certificates each month for perfect attendance of hourly associates.
3. Appraisals: Our appraisals take into account productivity, which includes measurables that directly relate to quality. ( For the production associate, first time good product instead of just hourly production). Money speaks, good appraisals = $$.
4. Company Store points: We have a company store. If someone does something their manager thinks deserves recognition, he gives them a points certificate which can be used to buy something from the company store. Most people like this. We have a pretty good company store.
I still think we have a ways to go but we are getting there. :)
 
Well, if you supplement intrinsic motivation by using rewards and incentives to move people (not motivate them), you’ll be stuck handing out incentives and rewards for a long time, that is, if you have them to provide folks.

Herzberg stated, “If you want people to do a good job, give them a good job to do!” There’s more to this statement, but it does say a lot in itself.

Kevin
