  1. blog format (font size, font format, etc.) not at required level and observed some grammar mistakes. why you used a web link in this article. it will be incorrect if you used those links as citations or references. as per your statement not only shell company also ABC company only used the "equal opportunity" concept for motivation. better if you can just high light factors affecting employee motivation and how to manage those factors in the organization in order to maintain motivated employees in the facility. you cannot do all things with 350 words but if you reduce words from the instruction section and using some draft you will able to manage it. 

    please add citations and references for the following statement."According to Corporate Equality Index of Human Rights Campaign, in 2018 shell is one of the best companies among which maintain better welfare and work conditions to it's employees."

    the video that you are used to this blog about the introduction about motivation. hence it will be better if you can use this video in the introduction section in this blog. 
     The citation and references that you are used to this blog are incorrect. whatever the cited in this blog it should appear under reference.

  2. As you have mentioned Nipuna motivation is the inner drive that directs a person's behavior toward goals. It is highly linked with employee engagement and employee engagement almost always leads to higher productivity.
    It would be better if you could mention about measuring employee motivation as well in your article. Make sure to include citations within the text.
    This has the potential of being an excellent post.
