Socialization process..




The most relevant article I found on the metamorphosis was the “9 things that motivate employees more than money” by Ilya Pozin.
“Don't show 'em the money (even if you have it). Here are nine better ways to boost morale”.

In this article it is explained in detail how to invest on the development of an employee in order for them to absorb the information, use their skills to the max and have them to offer to the company 200% of their best. I find this article very relevant to the third stage of the socialisation process.




Here is the secret of the 9 things that motivate employees
  1. 1.    Be generous with praise. Praise every improvement
    2.    Get rid of managers. Allowing people to work together as a team, on an equal level with their co-workers, will often produce better projects faster
    3.    Make your ideas theirs.  Instead of telling people what you want done; ask them in a way that will make them feel like they came up with the idea “Do you think it’s a good idea if we do it this way?”
    4.    Never criticize or correct. Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, learn from their mistakes, and fix them.
    5.    Make everyone a leader. You’ll set the bar high and they’ll be motivated to live up to their reputation as a leader.  
    6.    Take an employee to lunch once a week. It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.  
    7.    Give recognition and small rewards. Try things like dinner, trophies, spa services, and plaques. 
    8.    Throw company parties. Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff that you’re all in it together. 
    9.    Share the rewards—and the pain. If you expect high performance, your team deserves to know where the company stands. Be honest and transparent.
