Staffs are motivated so as to work more efficiently and smoothly through;
a) Their payment; any leave, off duty, holiday, etc must be paid. The payment should
be arranged earlier before the end of the month so that the staffs are paid on time and
this makes them feel recognized.
b) Overtime; according to Kenyan rule, the staff should work for 8hrs. any extra work
or overtime, the staffs must be compensated with a day off. The management or
supervisor should show interest to their staffs and recognize them. Staffs should be
given annual leaves and holiday. Incentive bonuses should be given ie extra money
once in a while for good work or presents.
c) Staff meals; staffs should be given sufficient time to take their meals either at home
or at the staff canteens. The management should see that there are enough tables,
seats, and equipment and staffs can enjoy their meals. Any problem concerning the
meals should be solved by the management and the caterer.
d) Accommodation; the staffs should be given their own houses and if possible be
given house allowances.
e) Security; the staffs should also be provided for in the compound and management
should ensure that the compound is clean. The compound should have a watchman or
contract a security firm. Supervisors must have the control of the use of keys so that
only the heads of department are responsible. They should control equipment and
material used.
f) Transport; the company should provide transport to their non residential staff. If it is
not possible, then transport allowances are given.
g) Fringe benefits; staffs should be given gifts or presents eg caps, t-shirts, mobiles,
cars, etc. certificates awarded for their good work, annual party, training etc.
h) Communication; it is concerned with transfer of information between different
people in the establishment. Management must see to it that there is good
communication between different levels of the establishment.
