The author shall now enumerate 10 practical steps on how to motivate proactively:

1. Recruitment Motivation. When looking for new blood, the recruiter should give out the job descriptions clearly and highlight the positive portions. Include members or employees to search for new recruits.

2. Advertisement Motivation. When posting ads, one should avoid using discouraging terms for a position. Use euphemism or encouraging terms to become more inviting or pleasing to the eyes of the applicant.

3. Interviewing Motivation. When interviewing recruits, one should use words that emphasize and highlight the capability of the applicant.

4. Orienting Motivation. Orientation programs are like first impressions and are also great motivators for beginners. Make most out of it.

5. Expansion Motivation. Avoid cost-cutting when you can provide trainings or development trainings to the employees.

6. Motivating “Winners.” This technique is rather psychological. One must think of every employee as assets or “winners” instead of the negative. What you see is what you get.

7. Recognizing Motivation. Every worker is unique and different. Therefore, each motivational need is also different. Find them out for yourself.

8. Delegation Motivation. Knowing your worker doesn’t only benefit their motivational needs but also the employer’s knowledge about their strengths and weaknesses. This way, he/she can be effectively delegated to a task where he/she can be most happy or productive.

9. Team Motivation. Group works are effective in bringing out an individual’s confidence and motivation.

10. Holistic Motivation. As mentioned in numbers 7 and 8, knowing your employees may really become effective when giving out individual tasks.

To begin with, let us start off by introducing two ways on how to motivate the employees. These are the Proactive and Reactive Technique. The Proactive Technique is any method that requires the involvement of both the employee and the employer. Later on, we shall discuss the 10 steps on how to motivate proactively. On the other hand, the Reactive Technique only requires the employer to initiate an action aiming that the employee would respond to him/her voluntarily.
Just like the two factors previously explained, both proactive and reactive can be used as inseparable factors in motivation. On this case, it would be more effective if the employer would use both techniques interchangeably.
