I can always count on you main motivating comment

That warm happy feeling that makes you pumped and excited to be at work is a result of 6 simple words spoken by your boss. That is all it takes..... a quick "I can count on you", that motivates the most.

We looked into comments/phrases that a boss may say that could potentially motivate their employees. We wanted to find out what you felt motivates you the most and why.

When your boss says, "I can count on you",  not only do you feel happy that your boss has recognized your hard work and appreciates your input, but it extends further to highlight your value, his/her trust in you and how your boss could not do without you. It really emphasizes your indispensability and motivates you to ensure you continue to perform in the future.

Secondary to "I can count on you", "well done" and "i believe in you" were at the top of motivating words. 

On a fairly level playing field, "you deserve a pay rise", "thank you" and "what do you think" resulted in around 6% - 7% of the responses.

The least motivating of them all were "leave early today" and "i am sorry".

You can find the full results in the pie chart here....

 

So, do you agree with these results? Do the words "I can count on you", top it for you? Why do you feel that drives more people? We would love to hear what you think!
