Motivation is a key factor in effective people management and successful team performance. It involves engaging and inspiring your people and developing them in such ways as to improve their effectiveness and thus have a greater benefit to customers. It can also involve having tough conversations with those who do not seem to be motivated.

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. It will provide up-to-date, evidenced-based theories to explore and equip them with knowledge and skills for effective engagement. Participants bring their motivation challenges to the day, to use as case study material.

• Identify key motivating factors that affect people at work
• Learn some ideas and approaches for effective engagement
• Understand your role in people motivation and be able to spot the signs and levels of motivation in others
• Learn some models and tools

This session is appropriate to managers at all levels, team leaders and supervisors.
