Within the social-political fabric of the Swedish society the words employer/employee are words to be avoided, almost tabu. One is, in non-legal texts, instead taking about "medarbetare" (="co-workers"). It is far less precise than "anställda" or "arbetstagare", but socially acceptable.

Out-of-context one would translate "encourage" as "uppmuntra", but given the context above I feel that "motivera" (="motivate") better communicates the message contained in the source text. "Uppmuntra" would not be wrong, but it is somewhat more cheerful than the sourceword "encourage".

.... i sin verksamhet på jobbet...

Motivering is the NOUN of the verb motivera
