Workplace Motivation: Drive Like You Have the Keys to a Ferrari with a Full Tank of Gas #92 - Part I

Maintaining a motivated workplace is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Oftentimes, executives attempt to engage their teams through group outings and large meetings to encourage socialization and connection to improve motivation.

While these are good exercises, the key to maintaining an engaged workforce is focusing on the level of the individual employee. Each employee is going to have different strengths, weaknesses, and workplace motivators that shape the way they work in your organization.
