Such firms also prove highly effective in guiding and training the administration and managers as well, in their pursuit of motivating their employees.

An important method followed by HR Consulting Firms for improving the motivation levels in the organization is by interviewing or getting questionnaires filled by the employees. This method helps in identifying the fundamental requirements of the employees in relation to the motivational impetus.

Another important method for the same is by conducting motivational training programmes and workshops by the HR Consultants. Such workshops and programmes extend to a number of days and sessions covering various topics as per the requirements of the administration.

The various characteristics analysed in by HR Consultants in identifying the gaps in the workplace environment that lead to low motivational levels are:

  • Do the employees feel compelled to do their jobs?
  • Levels of satisfaction felt by employees while working for the company
  • How interesting and substantial is the work for the employees?

  • What are the elements that employees would like to change in the organization to make it a better place to work?
  • How healthy is the relation between subordinates and concerned authority?
  • Pressures and compulsions at workplace
  • Ethical environment in the organization

Some of the significant topics that are dealt with during the motivational programmes conducted by HR Consultants include:
