A one-day workshop
This one-day workshop will help managers explore what they need to do to create a motivating environment at work and learn some tools and ideas to inspire motivation at individual and team level.
Pre-work: Complete and bring to the session a self-assessment which captures some personal motivation challenges, and some initial case study notes for someone in your team you believe needs to increase their motivation (template provided). These will be used in several exercises to aid thinking and action planning.

- Learn some ideas and approaches for effective engagement
