Activation involves the needs and the desires of thee employees (Miner 2015). While, directional refers the way where the energy is channel in. the motivation process can be depicted from the following diagram.

The figure 1 shows that motivation lies through the relationship between the needs, goals and drives. The employees need to understand the concept of motivation through initiating Maslow’s Need hierarchy theory. The theory explains that the individual’s level of expectation can be fulfilled through the hierarchy of needs. The theory explains that the five-stage model can be divided into three parts basic, needs and growth needs. Talent Plus need to adopt the model to motivate their employees. The five needs are the psychological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs and self actualization needs.

Figure 4 shows that the expectancy model directly deals with the satisfaction of the employees. The employees will be satisfied as they will be motivated through the action and the goal attainment.

The understanding of the importance for the qualities of the leaders would help to solve Talent Plus the issues in the organization. Effective leaders enable to create a better ambience for the organization. The leadership program or training does not involve only the mangers but all the employees.

They are defined as considerations or the People Oriented Behavior Leaders and initiating Structure or the task oriented Leaders. The task-oriented leader focuses on the behavior of the organization structure and the operating procedure. They are self-motivated. However, he people oriented leaders focus on the behaviors that ensure the inner needs of the people are satisfied. They motivate the staff through emplacing on the human relation (Dinh et al. 2014).

The development of such model would help them to understand the importance of the leadership quality in their daily life. It also initiates o make the leadership quality among them.

Job design is the arrangement, which reduce job dissatisfaction among employees. Talent Plus needs to adopt the job design procedure. It will help them to increase the productivity of the organization through the non-monetary rewards to the employees. It will initiate the employees to increase the sense of personal achievement in meeting the challenge and the responsibility in their work. Job design initiates the job enlargement. Job enrichment, job rotation and job implication as a technique in the job design (Wood et al. 2012).

The basis of the job design can be classified through the three most important strain of thought.

• Classical thought- the Max Weber and Henri Fayol explained it. The mangers indentify the purpose of the organization. Jobs are created to work groups, departments and divisions. Each group is assigned under a supervisor who is responsible for the result.
• Behavioral theory- it ensures the authority to match the position and tries to attain higher efficiency through the specialization of labor. The employees need o be free to discuss problems with the supervisors. It further helps in taking the decisions and communicate with the employees when solve the problems (Holman et al. 2014).
• Situational theory- it influences the external environment and allocates the responsibilities of the task within the organization.

Workplace diversity refers diversified propel in the organizations. Diversity does mean the adoption of race, gender, ethnic group, personality, organizational background etc. the employees need to understand the importance of diversity in the workplace. The diversity of people sometimes enables to create a negative impact among them (Mamman et al. 2012). The arrangement and the development need to develop in the way that the employees understand the importance of the diversity in the workplace. The employees need to understand the meaning of it thorough the different approach.

• Increase in the productivity- the training need to involve the importance of the diversity in the workplace. The employees need understand that when the people from diverse background come they share their different ideas, which help to growth organization. The employee can even share the ideas with them

• Language skills- diversity enables employees to learn about new language. It helps them to learn the different types of language. The employees of Talent Plus need to understand in the training that if the organization need to process any foreign language for adopting and technology for product from foreign counter. They did not need to call some form foreign. It will not ensure efficiency but also helps to reduce cost (Nahavandi et al. 2013).

The training for the employees of Talent Plus to overcome the issues and the problems in the organization can be solved through proper development of communication. The communication gap between the mangers and the employees some creates a barrier for the organization (Broadbent 2013). The training would not only again include the employees but also the mangers of the respective teams of the organization. The proper communication process is the process through which the sender encodes the message to the receiver and the receiver decodes it. While, in the feedback process the receiver encode the message and receiver decodes it. The process of the communication needs to be clear for both the massage and the feedback process.  

The communication process can either be verbal and can be non-verbal. The organization uses both the types to send the message. However in both ways there are barrier, which sometime block the communication.

• Process barrier- the communication process can be better utilized through the effective and good communication however sometimes because of the situations, it becomes impossible. First among it is the sender barrier. For example, a new joined employee failed to give his innovative ideas in front of supervisors for fear of criticism. Another barrier is the encoding barrier. Example is that a Spanish-speaking employee in Talent Plus cannot get English-speaking administrator to understand the working condition. The receiver barrier is another important barrier. For example, the finance manger asks the team member to repeat the statement as he was not attentive during the conversation.
• Semantic Barrier- Technology plays an important part in the semantic barrier of communication. Every organization is technically advanced. Talent Plus expansion is the result of it. Now, if an employee does not understand any technical term then they cannot understand the message (Nahavandi et al. 2013).
• Psychological Barrier- the three important concepts associated with the psychological barrier is the experience, filtering and the psychological distance. Experience includes employee’s background, values, biasness, needs and the expectation. If the sender’s field of experience overlaps with the receiver then communication becomes difficult. Filtering is the turning towards emotionally what we see rather than the actual one. The psychological distance is the distance, which creates because of attitude of superiority.

• Sender’s responsibility- the sender needs to understands the development and maintenance of the interpersonal skills and communicates effectively to the receiver. The message needs to be clear. It should include professionalism rather than consisting of any personal statement or overview.
• Receiver’s responsibility- the receiver needs to be patient while decoding the message. The encoding message at the time of feedback needs to clear and fast. The sender needs to understand the overview of the receiver. They need to ask questions if it become difficult for him to decode the message (Robbins and Judge 2012).
