双语︰困境时如何留住优秀员工.docxVIP

经济形势不好时，公司往往很难满足员工的涨薪要求，一些员工可能选择离职。为了留住优秀员工，你需要很好地平衡内在和外在的激励因素。比如，采用某种方式表扬员工的贡献；完善工作环境；开庆功会；获得员工信任……总之，你要想明白，“做点什么，总比什么都不做更好一些。”Several Fortune China readers have recently asked the following question:最近，有几位财富中文网的读者提出如下问题：“With a tough economy it is difficult to meet our employes’ expectation of salary increases. How can we motivate them in other ways to keep them from leaving the company?”“现在经济形势不好，我们很难满足员工涨薪的要求。怎么用其他办法来激励他们，避免他们离职呢？”This is an excellent question for leaders to consider.

In other words, the “Intrinsic” rewards and motivators were so high that I didn’t care too much about the “Extrinsic” motivators. Here is what these words mean, in case they are new to you:考虑是否给员工调薪时，出色的工作表现是需要被肯定的。有时候，为了维系企业的生存，老板必须得勒紧腰带，用其他办法来肯定员工的优秀业绩。大家都喜欢钱，但事实上，很少有人工作纯粹是为了赚钱。我曾经在一份自己很喜欢的工作上干了4年，拿的报酬相对较低，只是因为很享受这份工作。这份工作的性质、津贴及工作环境都让我觉得干下去很值，那时我也是公认的顶级员工。换言之，当时“内在”奖励和激励因素很强，所以我并不怎么在意“外在”激励因素。大家有可能对这两个词不太熟悉，故以下略作阐释：Intrinsic means “in the thing itself.” In other words, an intrinsic motivation comes from inside, not from outside. Examples could include values, rapport with boss and colleagues, working environment, we like the kind of work and it satisfies us in important ways. Salary is not really a factor in intrinsic motivation. We simply find the job and the working environment satisfying at a personal
