In some organisation I have seen that management takes over work from their workers but they do not pay them extra, it generate a demotivation factor in that particular organisation so whenever take extra work from the worker always pay them extra so they will be highly motivated and work better for that particular organisation.

Give them good monetary incentives and they would be willing to put in the extra hours. If you can provide a meal, it would help keep them agile and motivate them to do overtime.

Workers doing overtime and efficiently is always to the benefits of the workplace or business so you just have to motivate the workers so that they will be encouraged to do it. So how can it be encouraged

Give an enticing incentive for overtime

Pay when you promised and what you had promised as well

Provide all the tools needed to help them work promptly
The best way is by giving them incentive. No one would love to work for free. I can't do it too

the major way to encourage overtime is to offer incentives. Without incentives a lot of workers will not agree to that and they may even leave the business.

I have never seen my company encouraging them for overtime because mostly the workers are always ready to work as they get decent money and are paid on time too

If you are paying your workers well and their welfare is prioritized, they would easily do the occasional overtime for you. But it should not be like a habit that they work extra hours.

Most of the workers do like to work overtime as they will be getting more wages per month and if not then they need to find some other work to earn from in free time

A business owner can also encourage her employees to work overtime by demonstrating that she genuinely values the staff members as persons. Workers would be motivated to work overtime if they are aware that the employer considers them worthy.

One of the best ways to encourage employees to want to work overtime is to provide appropriate incentives according to the work/tasks they receive. If overtime is unpaid, of course employees will not want to do it.

This would happen when you get to pay your workers the bonuses that are attached to them working an overtime at the organization as if they don't get the bonus attached then your are discouraging it.

If you face issues with your workers not interested in working overtime then you can pay for over time the same day and that will prompt them to work and earn

For me i do not mind working over time, the most important thing is that i am paid extra. It would be best to pay your workers extra if you want them to work overtime.

In my company workers are willing to work overtime most of the time unless they are unwell or have other commitments and they are paid for overtime with their salary only

The truth is that people will work harder if there is a better incentive l They is need to compensate the workers working overtime, such as giving good overtime pay,
Exactly, this is where the problem lies today, majority of these employees today want their staffs to work over time but they tend to find it hard to pay them extra for the stress and effort.

In most cases in my country, the workers are motivated by being given some monetary incentives that could give the urge of doing more harder on the workplaces like paying more money as compared to the normal working rates especially on the over time.

To motivate your staff to put in a little extra hours, there must be a purpose for the extra hours which must be clearly communicated to them. Try as much as you can to appreciate them materially and immaterially for the extra time.

Workers just need to be motivated by being given some monetary incentives. We all need good compensation that could give the urge of doing more work. Employees just need to know this

If we can let them know that they will be paid for their work immediately or we can provide them a short break and snacks from our pocket then they will be motivated
