Posted on 05/26/20 By Brittany K. King

The extra work doesn't bother you at first, but your company's leadership team consistently fails to recognize your achievements and rarely provides structure or direction for your projects.

The longer this cycle continues, the less motivated you will feel in the workplace.

As an employee, it's easy to see the value of office motivation. Unfortunately, employers and company leadership often overlook the importance of motivating their staff.
