Lack of Motivation to Learn and Improve


Every IT related business has to deal with Change daily. "Keep up with the Change or get replaced" - has become the nature's law in today's corporate world.

Continuous learning and improving ones skills, has never been such a necessity. One cannot think of surviving at all in the current workplace without continuously learning. Since the advent of Internet, the Generation X , has been left with little choice. Even the baby boomer's are served with the same fate.

Everyone who wants to survive has to accept it and embrace it. We never get to decide when change happens, and hence we can only learn to manage it. Self motivation is the only tool which will help employees cope with Change and make progress in today's workplace.

However, its easier said then done. Lack of Motivation to learn and improve among employees is a common problem in workplaces today. Its not only eating up the profit margins of the companies but also damaging their competitive advantage. HR managers all over the world are working out solutions to increase the motivation in employees to embrace change, with little success.
