However, a supervisor tells Ben about anxiety surrounding a rumor that employees will lose money if the company has a bad year. How should Ben address this problem with employee morale?Group of answer choicesA. by shutting down the company's intranet to prevent further spreading of rumorsB. by removing non-management employees from the team designing the incentive planC. by reminding employees that rumors are against company policyD. by recalling that employees are also motivated by factors other than payE. by conducting meetings to teach about profit sharing and how employees will benefit

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D. Understanding that pay is not everything that employees are after and that there are several other means to keep them motivated.

Explanation:

Now lets take a closer look at it.

Option A is not going to work. Shutting down the basic communication system will render the organization members unable to cooperate with each other during their work and will make the matters even worse!

Option B is ridiculous. You remove employees just because you are suspicious of them to spread rumors? This will start other employees to doubt their own job security!

Option C is not going to work. You can tell them that rumors are against the company policy, but will they stop it just because of it?

Option E is somewhat acceptable. yet comparing with the option D, its not that much suitable. If the employees are already in doubt, it is unlikely that this option will work.

So, if option D is working, what are the non financial incentive that we can use to motivate our employees?

1. Job Enrichment: Enrich their jobs with more responsibilities and by giving them more powers.
2. Job Rotation: Employees get bored if they do the same work for a long period of time, changing the nature of the job they do is a good option in this case.
3. Offer them leadership opportunities to develop in their career
4. Recognize their contributions and efforts and appreciate them.
5. Give your employees more autonomy and freedom
