By submitting your resume ...

Difficulties in finding a job begin with sending a resume - after all, very often letters of applicants for one reason or another remain unanswered.

If you want your future employer to like your resume, perform such a ritual. Take two yellow church candles, light them and place them on the sides of the monitor. Make a resume in accordance with all the rules, but before sending it by e-mail, do this. Stretch your arms forward so that your right hand is above the candle to the right of the monitor (palm down), and your left hand is above the candle to the left of the monitor. Feel the warmth from the fire and, looking at the smoke emanating from the candle, read this conspiracy: "My slander is simple - words are growing, every word will be renewed, the smoke has taken, the wind has brought, morning, evening, the issue has been resolved." Now you can safely send a letter. A positive answer will not be long in coming.

Will not drive away, will not refuse ...

To overcome shyness and self-doubt, and to make a pleasant impression on a potential employer, start the morning with a contrast shower on the day of your interview. When you douse yourself with cold water for the last time, say: "Water off a duck's back, I'm dumb." And cross yourself three times.

For those who are very worried, advice: take with you an amulet that attracts good luck - this can be any image of the moon, since it is the night luminary that is the symbol of acquisition.

Leaving the house, turn your face to the east and read the following conspiracy: “I will get up, praying, go out, cross myself, climb a high mountain, look around on all four sides. As on the eastern side, a black horse grazes on a green meadow, wild and violent. I will tame that horse, and he will obediently walk under me, carry him wherever I want. My will is strong, my word is true. Amen".

And also, before leaving for an interview, look at yourself in the mirror and say: “Not old and not young. She is good and smart herself. I go to contract, the owner to have a look. The owner will smile, my words will be touched. Will not drive away, will not refuse. He will anoint the baptized soul. Amen".

Immediately before the interview, tie a knot on a thread with the words: "As tightly as this knot is tied, so it would be for me, the servant of God (name), to work out soon and firmly." Repeat the plot three times and tie three knots.

On the growing moon

We advise everyone who is looking for work to carry out such a ritual on the waxing moon. Buy a new white handkerchief and speak it with these words: “I whisper and whisper, the servant of God (my name) will have good luck on the road, success in work. Wherever I go, I will find work everywhere. Not to see me fail, not to hear the word "no". Amen".

When performing rituals to get a good job, it is important to believe in their effectiveness. And it is also advisable not to tell anyone about this, you will find Good work- then share your joy.

NUMERICAL TALISMAN

Anyone who wants to quickly advance in career ladder, advice.

Get a special numeric talisman. It can be crafted from wood, stone, or paper. Draw a five-pointed star on the chosen material, and in the center draw the number that meets your goals and aspirations.

Everything here is so individual that there is simply no single methodology for all companies, and, probably, there cannot be.

But, despite this, many experienced HR managers still have very interesting and vivid examples that will suit any organization, as the most effective HR tools in this difficult, but necessary modern business task.

And in this thesis article, we will try to tell you about the most, in our opinion, popular examples of non-material motivation of employees that we met in various organizations... And we hope it will be useful especially for aspiring executives and HR managers.

Intangible motivation staff: what are we doing ...

1) Make it a rule to greet your colleagues at work by name.

2) When communicating verbally or in e-mails don't forget to say or write "Thank you." Reward your employees with various additional "goodies" as often as possible. For example, such as extra time off, weekends, or sometimes allow them to leave work early. So, this is especially true for women's groups. And for those people who study at universities or even those who have a hobby. Believe me, this time investment will dramatically increase both productivity and employee engagement to the point where “you never dreamed or dreamed of it”.

3) Each desk of your employees should have a beautiful plaque with his name (you can also indicate his position). So, all people, without exception, really like to feel their value and high importance for the company in which he works. And this is corporate culture, or rather a small part of it. But all the big things are made up of little things, right?

Non-material motivation: the program should be developed according to the principle - “life is not only work” ...

4) Make it a rule to wish every employee a happy birthday. So, for this you need to prepare a small congratulation in advance, buy a cake or other "snacks" - it will take about 30 minutes. But, on the other hand, how will it inspire and please your employee? And this in itself is worth a lot.

5) Show more initiative and imagination. Spend to some significant date, for example, mini-KVNs, "skits", humor, the same quests. Life is not only work ... And work that is a joy is the dream of any person.

6) For those employees of the company, whose activities and usefulness are not particularly visible, develop some especially special and very unusual award or prize. So, for them it will be a very important event.

7) Try to regularly (for example, once a week) arrange individual meetings for a confidential conversation with those employees of the company with whom you usually do not have the opportunity to communicate for various reasons. Ask them about problems, plans, work. In general, talk like a human being, at least about football. So, it is a colossal working tool for increasing self-esteem for any employee.

Once every six months, it is necessary to revise the program for non-material motivation of personnel ...

8) And always try not only to inform your employees about something, but also invite them to express their opinion or ideas on a specific issue. And if people start talking, don't interrupt them. Let them express themselves, and you try not only to listen to them, but also to delve into the meaning of their speeches as much as possible - to hear a person is much more important than just listening to him.

But any reward system (especially intangible) should not become "commonplace", it will just get bored. The experience of experienced HR managers suggests that uniform multi-year motivational programs are gradually starting to work not for benefit, but for harm. So, do not oppress them with such "age-old programs". Therefore, you need, for example, once a quarter or every six months, be sure to come up with a completely new motivational program.

The words "work" and "slave" are known to be of the same root. When the place where we spend a considerable part of our life becomes a prison, where we are serving a heavy sentence, something must be changed. Either the place or ourselves. What makes us love our job? We have compiled a list of the most powerful motives.

Monday starts Saturday

Honestly, I have a certain personal predilection for people who love their work. In them, as a rule, an order of magnitude more harmony and general satisfaction from life is noticeable than in those who wake up without much joy in the morning on a weekday and go to the tired office. Work time- this is a huge part of life, so why waste it on a hated occupation? Meanwhile, we have a lot of people who consider the love of work to be something strange. Whether it is a legacy of the Soviet system or a timeless phenomenon is a topic for a separate study.

The dislike for work seems to be a continuation of the dislike for school obligations, but in reality there is little in common. We go to school because getting a secondary education is our duty. We choose education and profession most often at the call of our hearts (if you do not take the cases when we enter the university "for the company" or "because it is fashionable"). But even so, at work we live from Monday to Friday, celebrate payday, do anything but our immediate responsibilities, complain to our friends how tired we are of what we do every day ... We understand less and less joy wizards from "Monday starts on Saturday", who, even on New Year's Eve, hurried to their beloved NIICHAVO.

Work for us is a dull inevitability, a means of earning money and nothing else..

Familiar experiences? And some are completely unfamiliar: they love their work and try to get maximum pleasure from it.
Moreover, it seems that there are not so many people who are constantly dissatisfied with their work. Collecting material for the article, I arranged an impromptu opinion poll among friends and acquaintances, wondering whether they love their work, and if so, why. It turns out that the majority loves her. For various reasons: because an interesting, good team, loyal leadership ... "I am encouraged by the possibility of constant self-improvement"; “I love everyday non-standard situations”; “I perceive difficulties at work as a challenge for myself”; “I like helping people solve their problems,” was the answer. Especially happy, apparently, are those people who were able to turn a hobby into their work and achieved considerable heights in it.

The second group consists of people who rather tolerate their work, because it gives them the opportunity to do something else: family, travel, or an unprofitable hobby. Or they perceive it as something temporary before moving on to the next stage: for example, opening their own business, which requires connections, experience and start-up capital... For them, the main incentives to work, besides the salary, are a convenient schedule or the opportunity to learn something.

But there are those who do not like their work and have no idea what they would like to do. Or they dream of not working at all - mostly women. The answers of this group show confusion: “I have no idea what kind of work I could love”; “I don't think I can do anything else in life.”

Most of all, oddly enough, we are disoriented in relations with the business we are doing, such a seemingly obvious attitude: "Work is needed to get money." Of course, this motive is always present, but when it becomes the only one or the leading one, problems begin. Business consultant Oleg Khomyak considers people who go to work only for money to be the most problematic clients: “Such a person is actually in a relationship with life at the level of survival, he does not grow. He does not see other possibilities, and he needs a specialist either in order for a person to realize the existence of other perspectives. "Working for money" is a dead end in self-development. " Business coach Tatyana Ivanova calls such workers people of instrumental motivation: “As a rule, these are the most disloyal employees. They always have little money, their needs are growing, so they usually do not stay at work for a long time, quickly exhausting their potential. "

If work isn't all about money, then what else? Here is a list of ten items, arranged in random order, for introspection. Just remember that motive alone is still not enough: usually we are driven by a complex of intricately intertwined and hierarchical incentive reasons.

1. Self-realization

The most complete realization of their abilities is the top of the motivational pyramid. But this motive is not "turned on" for everyone. After all, in order to successfully realize yourself at work, find application of your experience and see the further direction of movement, you must at least know yourself well and imagine what type of activity is most suitable for you. It is not necessary to dream of a certain specialty and position - " perfect job"Can simply be a collection of characteristics. Moreover, in the same place, different people realize different qualities. “Let's say we are talking about an occupation involving communication with clients,” Oleg Khomyak gives an example. "But one of the employees just loves communication, the other perceives the need to find an approach to difficult clients as a challenge, and the third likes to help people, he knows how to enter into their situation."

Speaking about the implementation of their skills, one cannot but recall the popular concept of the “ceiling of competence”. This is the name of the highest post that an employee is able to occupy according to his skills and abilities. For some, this is the director of a division, for others - Executive Director company, and the third and the position of a middle manager is enough. However, it must be remembered that the ceiling of competence makes sense only when applied to the current moment, to work in only one field of activity or in a company. - the process is endless, and those who realize it get an extra reason to love work. Have you noticed how they get fat and dull successful people having reached some high office? This is because they stop moving forward.

2. The need for recognition

For some reason, the need for recognition and self-realization take the same position and even mean almost the same thing. In fact, of course, this is not the case. You may dream of taking the post of department head because you see this as an opportunity to realize your leadership abilities, or because of the need for respect from subordinates and partners - and these are different reasons. But healthy vanity is not the driving force for everyone. “Recognition is a reason to love their work for extroverted people who need an external assessment of their activities,” explains Tatyana Ivanova. "Introverts, however, are satisfied with the assessment that they give themselves, they do not need the attention of others."

One might get the impression that ambitious people love only work in high positions. But in fact, any activity in which we feel indispensable satisfies the need for recognition. A clever secretary who knows all the secrets of the boss and the details of official intrigues sometimes has more reasons to love her job than her superiors.

3. Team

And not only on professional themes, takes up a considerable part of our working day. Men who boast of their laconic words also find something to talk to their colleagues about: sports, politics, cars, computers, the figure of Lenochka's secretary ... Strong friendships and novels can develop at work. Finally, if our colleagues are interesting, cheerful and full of optimism, then they also infect us with their mood.

Tatyana Ivanova calls the love of work because of a good team a conditional motivation: “Such people will go to work only under a certain condition: they are good with their colleagues - they work with pleasure. Often they also prefer not to be too "stressed" and not encouraged to take the initiative. " The second, however, is true if colleagues do not push you to develop, if there are no those you admire among them: “The value of a team is determined by the experience that can be gained in communicating with it,” says Oleg Khomyak. "The downside is the fragility of such attitudes: as soon as we outgrow our colleagues, it's time to move on."

4. Relations with superiors

"The boss is the subordinate" - the continuation of relations with the team. Most often, we communicate well and are friends with colleagues, but at the same time we are at war with the authorities. It also happens the other way around: we establish a great relationship with our boss at the cost of losing the respect of our colleagues. The habit of the collective to "be friends against" the boss is the cost of the Soviet, semi-feudal perception of the owner of a high post as a master who has all the responsibility for the result of your work and for yourself. However, it is quite possible, if not to be friends, then at least to feel mutual sympathy - in this case, going to work becomes even more interesting.

In addition, there is another advantage in productive relationships with superiors, which is important for those who intend to start their own business in the future: we also learn from the leader in managing people. If, of course, the boss is competent enough in this. And if he himself loves his work, feeling himself in his place.

5. The result of labor

When I discussed with my fellow journalists a list of reasons why they love their work, this one came in first place. We love to write to magazines, because every month we can hold in our hands the result of our work, and we like it. Of course, we could not ask ourselves the question: what is found in mechanical work or in that, the result of which is postponed for a very long time?

It's simple: there is process people and result people... The first ones enjoy the very involvement in work, in common work... The latter need a goal that gives meaning to the work. Creative people (which my colleagues and I belong to) belong to the second category. Ideal performers, responsible conveyor workers, fall into the first place. In addition, the result can be understood not only as "formalization" final product... For a competent accountant, for example, it may not even be the annual report itself, but the opportunity, with its help, to defeat the tax office. And the same secretary every day can see dozens of results of the successful implementation of her little assignments - and this is quite enough for her.

6. Work schedule

A free schedule, which everyone seems to dream about, is really needed by few. “Self-motivated people who are able to set goals and choose the means for their implementation can manage their time independently,” says Tatyana Ivanova. - For those who do not know how to work in such a mode, a call-to-call activity is better suited, with precise instructions from higher authorities. These are the ideal performers that any company needs. " High level the consciousness of employees and the presence of a free schedule in the company are directly related. For example, it is known that at Google, employees are allowed to use 20% of their working time for whatever they see fit. But it is also known that it is extremely difficult to get a job at Google: the best of the best are selected there, others simply cannot work in conditions of creative freedom.

An inappropriate schedule for you is one of the biggest reasons to dislike your job. Because inveterate owls, for example, find it unbearable to wake up in the morning: they should either agree with their superiors about the possibility of coming to the office later, or master technology and switch to home work... In addition, the ability to organize your work process becomes more important, the higher the position held. Not all top managers work twenty hours a day: four or five are enough for many.

7. Involvement in a common cause

For many, it is important to be proud of being involved in famous company or a brand: the firm's successes cast a glimpse on us, the humble creators of this success. However, this motivation works more often in the West than in our country: the corporate culture of the American style does not take root on our soil. “Our leaders make one mistake: they do not understand that corporate culture should be formed from below, as it was in the West, and not be imposed from above,” explains Tatyana Ivanova. “Therefore, attempts to introduce it - primarily in the domestic subdivisions of Western holdings - are accompanied by a skeptical attitude from subordinates who perceive it as a show and fulfill these requirements only formally.”

Self-motivated workers, especially those seeking to open their own business in the future, are usually not noticed in a passionate love for the company in which they work. Too much loyalty is contraindicated for them, as it replaces their personal goals with corporate ones. If your goals coincide with your collective goals, then you have every chance to feel the best at work.

8. Additional bonuses

In our country, with its unstable economic conditions, we increasingly choose places of work that represent certain social guarantees: "White" salary, medical insurance. Each company has its own "social package", which can include a travel ticket, an annual vacation at sea, and New Year's gifts for a child - from large bonuses to small, but pleasant ones. The sense of security that these conditions give us is a perfectly worthy reason to love our work.

Oddly enough, even such a condition as a dress code can be a bonus for us. Firstly, in the event that we like the style in which it is sustained, and we feel comfortable in such clothes. Secondly, it is important if the management expresses this demand in the form of regular payments to renew the wardrobe, and does not force us to allocate a certain amount from our salary for this. The attitude of workers to any bonuses is better if they are paid in monetary terms. This is a demonstration of the same trust of management in subordinates for which the latter are usually paid a hundredfold.

9. Salary level

Of course, it matters - and this does not contradict what we talked about at the beginning of the article. But first, the main role it is not the amount of remuneration that plays a role in itself, but its correspondence to our competence, our ideas about our value as an employee. Secondly, money is in any case a means, not an end. The opportunity to please yourself or loved ones, even if it is simple, is much more valuable than a large amount in your wallet and the satisfaction of primary needs. Finally, working for a paycheck isn't really a bad thing. It is bad to "work hard" solely for her sake, with almost complete disappearance of other motives. Our attitude to work should be as complex as any relationship. Still, this is a huge part of our life, and it depends only on us how happy and fruitful the "romance" with work will be.

10. Place of work

You don't have to move to make us love our place of work. Tatyana Ivanova told me a story about two divisions of the company, one of which was transported to new office with a fresh renovation and the latest models of office equipment, and the second was left in the same place, but installed coffee machines and an air ionizer with coffee aroma. At the end of the next year, it turned out that the second worked much better. Sleight of hand and no feng shui!
