In designing a motivating work environment, I would take into consideration the personality traits of the employees. It is possible what may motivate one employee may not work for another employee.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs theory need to be implemented to foster a motivating work environment. Employees need to be given a decent pay to be able to meet their basic needs. The organization can also provide morning tea to the employees. on meeting security and safety needs the firm need to provide safe working environment, provide employees with medical covers and housing allowance.
Employees are no longer motivated by pay and other rewards. Job design has emerged as a source of motivation to many employees.
Job enlargement and enrichment are some of the techniques I would employ to motivate employees. When employees are added responsibilities they are able to learn new skills and exploit their potential. This technique can work very well with the employees who are motivated by skill growth and development.

On the other hand, giving the employees the power to control themselves, the employees will be able to omit processes that are irrelevant and incorporate what works well for them. This makes the employees to feel that the organization is utilizing their ideas and thus are motivated with their jobs (Saylor, n.d.).

To meet affiliation needs the firm need to be giving employees a paid day or two off to be with their families and friends. The firm can also plan for a corporate retreat or family fun day. On self-esteem need the firm can be recognizing the employees who have done exemplary work in a given quarter. Every noble task an employee does goes a long way in motivating the employee. On self-actualization the firm can give employees control of their duties like with job enrichment.
