Employee Motivation

Employees are the backbone of InterClean and in order for them to perform to the best of there ability InterClean needs to find different ways of motivating them. Employees will need to work together as a team in order for the change to be effective.

The scenario spoke about recruiting key sales team leaders to get the message across that no employee will be terminated with the new transition in order to motivate the employees. (University of Phoenix, 2007, email to Janet Durham from Carol Stanley).
