The document discusses motivation in the workplace based on an interview with an assistant manager at KFC. It notes that non-economic recognition is more motivating than extra money. At KFC, there are monthly meetings to discuss failures and solutions. There is also recognition for "best employee of the month" chosen by votes. Employees can receive an economic bonus based on evaluations of their performance, cleanliness, and sales. While the environment is good, the author thinks motivation could be improved by implementing vouchers for movies/food and chances to win trips through corporate meetings for employees.

How it's working the motivation in your work? By Jhoel Ramrez.
Based upon the interview with Assistant Manager of KFC
To do my job, I requested an interview with a friend , Christian Saavedra , who is Shop Assistant on KFC (Ovalo Larco) who gave me some details. As learned in classroom, it is important the motivation that is not related to the economic factor, is more pleasurable recognition for good performance than extra money for the achievement (this is relative). However, the difference is, money is very volatile, is spent on something that is useless or possibly cover some debt (this its so true) but recognition or other motivational issue is durable, creates a sense of loyalty to the worker that allows a better perform. This time I present how the issue is handled in KFC (Ovalo Larco ). According to my interviewee, monthly meetings where possible failures, shortcomings and / or mistakes and their respective solutions or the best way to treat analyzes are performed. Also, there is best employee of the month recognition, which is based on the choice of 3 candidates, the choice is open, and everyone participates. There is also an economic bonus (amount was not disclosed to me) based on the approval of 3 reviews: - CER Evaluation (Comparative Effectiveness Research) - CHAMPS Evaluation (Cleanliness, Hospitality , Accuracy, Maintenance , Product Quality , Services with speed) - Top of Sales Review Although the working environment is good and the tension is handled in a "familiar way" with group meetings per month, I personally think that even missing details that could raise the level of effectiveness in the company. Stimulates economic bonus is a way to reach their personal sales stops, and the best employee of the month recognition is nice, but I think they should implement some sort of vouchers for offers " (in other does exist) vouchers that can be used in cinemas or even to redeem food and why not the chance to win a trip all paid. It would also be interesting to a corporate meeting in which workers are entertained.
