The real reasons why people come to work.

Self-esteem, money, social contact and purpose are often cited by numerous studies as being the key motivators for coming to work.

Interestingly from a recent Australian study one of the key reasons for leaving was lack of challenge and opportunity to contribute.

Isn't that interesting? The implicit need to contribute outweighs the explicit needs such as self-esteem and money.

Tapping into the inner or implicit needs will always yield greater employee happiness and loyalty and more importantly take the focus of the explicit needs. And what’s more the organisation can really benefit form higher levels of employee engagement.

Supporting this theory is an US study which clearly showed that the main reason what female workers left their work was because of the relationship with their boss.
