When people have little interest in a position or role, it’s very difficult to motivate them. This is one of the challenges using freelance services. Freelancers may not be motivated by learning opportunities, greater responsibility, or challenging projects. Generally, they are happy to keep the status quo in job responsibilities. Money is often a freelancer’s key motivator.
On the other hand, interns who aspire to be the best at some aspect of the profession are easily motivated by new challenges and learning opportunities. So if you are looking for someone to augment specific areas of your business, consider hiring and training an intern.
On team motivation:
It’s important to get to know the individuals within your team. The more you know about their personal lives and goals, the better you’ll be able to structure rewards that keep them motivated.
What motivates one person may be a big turn-off to another. For instance, a good way to motivate single parents might be to offer them flexible working hours, or on-site daycare. On the other hand, the day-care wouldn’t be a motivating influence for team members who don’t have kids. The flex-time idea may be attractive to them, but finding out other interests will give insight to better ways to motivate these people.
