There was a time when motivating employees was as easy as putting up a poster and waiting for the results to roll in!
For the younger audience members, 'employees' were people on the payroll of the company or agency. A little like you contractors, but with rights.
Anyways, judging by the motivation strategies, employees were nice folks, not the disbelieving bunch of modern workers who react only to cynical, glossy large posters.
The wholesome employee of like a century ago would see such a poster and talk through his or her improvement ideas at the dinner table with the whole family before submitting them to a caring manager the next day.
Illustrating the arguments of the post is this small scale scan of a poster by the Morton company (c), from some time in the last century.
