The aim of this analytical report is to understand the insights of the company's employees regarding motivation, leadership, and communication and its impact on their work, and provide solutions for improvement. The team obtained the data for this study by using online survey forms. The key results indicate that for most employees, the main sources of motivation are their family, salary, and passion. Although this could be accurate, the primary reason most employees don't show up to work is due to the work environment, followed by low pay, and finally, monotonous tasks. The research also discovered minimal problems with leadership as a large number of employees are content with their present leader's performance. Regarding communication, the study highlights its significance in managing clients and resolving conflicts in the workplace. In conclusion, the team’s findings showed that family, salary, and passion are the primary motivators for employees, while a negative work environment is the main reason for absenteeism. The report also found minimal issues with leadership, with employees generally satisfied with their current leaders. Communication was found to be crucial for managing clients and resolving conflicts in the workplace. 3 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND This analytical report’s primary topic is about Motivation, Leadership and Communication and how it affects an employee’s work performance. These factors each play a crucial role both to the employee and organization. Motivation helps boost productivity and increase overall performance leading to better outcomes for the organization. Effective leadership helps align the efforts of all employees towards the common goal of the organization. It plays a key role in setting the direction and guiding others to achieve success and it also helps to create a positive work environment, promote teamwork, and foster a culture of collaboration and accountability. Effective communication is essential in this industry as it ensures that the information is exchanged effectively and efficiently. It also helps minimize conflicts and promote collaboration among employees. Motivation, leadership, and communication are crucial determinants of organizational success as they promote employee engagement, facilitate teamwork, and enhance effective information exchange, leading to improved productivity and performance outcomes.

COMMUNICATION Communication is vital in an organization. It is the sharing of information through verbal and non – verbal means, including words, messages, and body movements. 12 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Based on the survey of 50 employees, the following data was acquired: I. MOTIVATION - Of the 50 employees surveyed, 56% cited family as their main motivation, 26% were motivated by salary, 16% were driven by passion, and the remaining 2% selected all options. Despite being motivated, many expressed a desire for a better work environment to further increase their motivation. A majority also indicated a preference for bonuses and incentives. However, factors that demotivated employees included negative work conditions, low salaries, inadequate transportation, and repetitive work routines. II. LEADERSHIP - The data collected regarding leadership revealed mostly positive views from employees, with few negative responses. The majority of employees held a favorable opinion of their leader. Despite this, minor improvements are suggested. III. COMMUNICATION - The survey results emphasized the significance of communication in the industry. Most employees were found to possess adequate communication skills when interacting with clients. However, the data also revealed challenges such as communication barriers, rude clients, and miscommunication that can arise. Some employees were able to handle these challenges effectively, while others struggled with them. 13 CONCLUSION Overall, the survey revealed that family is the main motivator for most employees, followed by salary and passion. It also showed that employees desire a better work environment and incentives and that negative work conditions and low salaries are demotivating. The majority of employees had positive views of their leader, but some minor improvements were suggested. Finally, communication was found to be important in the industry, with most employees displaying adequate communication skills. However, challenges such as communication barriers, rude clients, and miscommunication were identified. With this information, employers can use this survey to help create a better work environment and ensure employees are motivated and equipped to do their best. RECOMMENDATIONS The researchers have the following recommendations based on the findings in this analytical report: (1) The motivation survey results indicate that salary and the work environment are the major drivers of motivation. Therefore, it is prudent to increase the remuneration of personnel in a fair and reasonable manner, thus benefiting both the organization and its employees. Furthermore, employees should strive to foster a positive atmosphere, so as to promote the best working conditions. (2) The survey results show that the current leadership system is well-received by most employees and there are few to no problems. It is recommended to maintain this system to avoid negative feedback. The leader should address any minimal issues by communicating more frequently with employees and working on improvement in areas where needed. (3) As for communication, we recommend investing in communication training for all employees to improve their skills and confidence in handling communication challenges in the industry. This will ensure that all employees are equipped to effectively interact with clients, overcome communication barriers and prevent miscommunication. 14 BIBLIOGRAPHY - Farrenkopf, T.
