33 Easy Ways To Motivate Your Creative Employees

Passion. Motivation. Interest.

Creative employees thrive on these qualities and bring an extra something to their work if they are given the right kind of incentives. Managers who employ a reward-punishment rule with these employees tend to lose out on a key factor – engagement.

According to a Gallup poll, only 30% of people making less than $36,000 are emotionally engaged at work. The number keeps decreasing as the salary climbs and even those at the top report of disengagement with their work.

When people are not engaged, they will not perform, when they won’t perform, output suffers.

And so does the organisation. And an organisation, like a media publisher, advertising agency or content platform depends on the creative output of its employees to keep the fires stoked.

In this handy infographic, we share a few ways through which these employees can be motivated and engaged with to ensure maximum engagement and creativity. A happy employee, after all, is a creative one!
