Introduction

In this task I am required to define motivation and retaining staff, methods used by the business to motivate and retain their staff and relevant PEST factors in the workforce plan. I am also going to define how motivation affects a school and how the deal with it.

Motivation

Motivation is a reason for employees to work for. They are goals that all the employees have which they need to meet in order to progress higher in life. Without motivation their will be no improvement in their life. Staffs that work and enjoy their work are also motivated because this gives them a reason to do their work and because of this they will continue to work hard and try harder to meet their targets. In a school all the staff members are motivated by the goals that are set by them they are also motivated by environment e.g. talking to other teachers, making new friends, enjoying classes while teaching students.

Why does the school need to motivate?

In a school motivation is important because staff want to have something to look up to and this will help the business to be successful, the business sets aims and objectives for all the staff to follow and aim to achieve them, this keeps them busy and work harder, this also keeps the workforce together and makes them support each other as a team. As the business becomes more motivated the reputation also increases because parents will come to check on how their son or daughter is doing and if they find that they are doing very well they will like the education that their children are receiving and so they will respect the school and advise others to go to the same school. Another reason why a business needs motivation is because it will boost the performance of the students that are studying there because the teachers will be working hard to meet their aims and objectives they will be giving better quality of education in order to meet their objectives.

What is the result of staff when they are not motivated?

If the staff isn’t motivated then they won’t be bothered doing any work and this means that the business won’t be successful. The education that the students will get won’t be of high standard and also the students won’t do the work on time and will miss their deadlines same goes for the staff. The teachers won’t be punctual because they would be bored of the work they do at the school. The school reputation will decrease because parents won’t be happy with the education that their children are receiving and so they might give bad feedback. The students won’t achieve their goal and will likely to fail their GCSEs or any other qualifications because they won’t know what they want to achieve in life.

The head of the department won’t give information to their teachers on what s/he expects from them and this can cause problems for teachers as they won’t know what they suppose to teach the students. The admin won’t be prepared to do the duties that the head of the year assign them to and this will mean that the letters that supposed to be sent to parents won’t be sent on time and also any other tasks will also be late. The staff turnover will also increase because they won’t be happy with the work place and this ...
