“You can always award those who have performed better than others so that they are motivated to continue performing well,” Bwaya said.
CULTURE ETHICS
Organizations and corporate companies have been asked to provide work incentives for their employees to motivate them to work better.
While addressing journalist at the Institute of work, culture, and Ethics (IWCE) on Thursday the Executive Director Sam Bwaya, said salary alone is not enough to motivate the workers to work hard.
"You can always award those who have performed better than others so that they are motivated to continue performing well," Bwaya said.
He said that one can be given a task to perform it in thirty minutes and it takes him a whole hour to do, adding that such people can be motivated to work hard and finish in time by giving them work-related incentives.
"Sometimes people sit in offices and take eight hours to finish a given work yet it could have been done in one hour," Bwaya said.
Bwaya admits that some people are slow at whatever they do and that it's always seen from the way how they walk.
"If you walk very slowly you are likely not to do work very fast.
The institute has organised a culture, work and ethics day which will take place on July 25 at Kololo ceremonial grounds under the theme Work, Culture, and Ethics- from Talk to Action. About 1,000 people are expected to attend.
Six sectors have been identified to demonstrate their work to the rest of the organizations which will attend the event and the best will be awarded so that other sectors are also motivated to work hard.
The six sectors include energy industry, banking industry, manufacturing sector, utilities, non-Government organisations (NGOs) and consultancy.
Bwaya said organizations should select employees who work at their best so that they are given medals by IWCE for working well.
