Is Motivation Important at Work?

Everybody talks about motivation, however, not everybody knows what motivation really is. When you look at the definition on the Cambridge University Dictionary it says: “The need or reason for doing something”, “Enthusiasm for doing something”. If you pay attention, in both definitions a feeling or intention that guides an action appears. In Devlane we help you to define a reason and a need that support your tasks.

Motivation at Work - Devlane

‍Why is it important to take motivation into account?

As an IT Company we have values and a clear mission related to increasing job satisfaction. We understand “satisfaction” as the engine that connects the human quality of our teams with the service we provide.

A motivating environment impacts on productivity because if you recognize the needs of your employees, you will create a strong sense of belonging in your work teams. For this reason we name ourselves “Simplers”.

At Devlane, we believe motivation is the drive that pushes people to go beyond expectations. When employees feel motivated, they perform better, stay longer, and contribute to building a positive culture. Motivation and engagement go hand in hand, and both are essential to mental health and long-term professional development. A company that supports flexible working and encourages balance between personal and professional life will always achieve stronger results.

What is the challenge for Human Resources?

First, we have to consider 6 importants points that make motivation possible:

‍We also understand that different types of motivation coexist in the workplace. Some employees are driven by career growth and recognition, while others value stability, autonomy, or personal time. Understanding what each person needs to feel motivated allows HR to design actions that align with both business goals and individual aspirations.

Let me show you HOW we do it at Devlane...

Devlane Challenges: Every Thursday, we propose a new challenge to interact through our communication channel. The challenges can go from sending a picture from a funny trip, guessing a masked character, sharing the best song of all time, among others.

At the end of the day, we choose the winner and we award different prizes. This space allows you to interact with all the members, no matter where they are, we create the space to meet each other and have a fun time.

Devlane Lunch: Every Friday we meet for a while at noon and share an online lunch. It is a good time to share what we did during the week and what plans we have for the weekend. We spend most of our time at work so we should enjoy it.

From Devlane we understand motivation as the basis of desire. These are some of the proposals we have for you. If you are interested in learning more about our company we invite you to join us!
