Motivation - self/others
Motivation frequently emerges as an issue in organisations. This course familiarises participants with the forces at work in motivation and demotivation. Motivation, or lack of, can be an issue regarding self or others. The course looks at techniques for influencing motivation, and explores why they work or fail.
Who would benefit from Motivation
Organisational members who are responsible for the effective and efficient activities of others, especially during a period of change. It is also useful for those who are preparing to take such a role. It is possibly also useful for non-managerial members who wish to better understand self-motivational forces and techniques.
Objectives of Motivation
By the end of the workshop, delegates will have identified organisational (structural and procedural) motivators, de-motivators and negative motivators. Delegates will be able to describe the organisation’s motivational forces impacting people, and design a plan to use specific techniques to influence those forces in ways to help individuals, groups, and the organisation as a whole.
Addressing demotivators should impact organisational climate which in turn impacts other organisation metrics such as stress, absenteeism, turnover. Addressing motivators should positively impact creativity, productivity, and possibly metrics such as alignment and recruitment.
Delegates will:
- Understood the power of motivation
- Have ideas and tools to apply to their workplace
- Appreciate the difference in performance between motivated, non-motivated, and demotivated staff
- Appreciate the need to motivate everyone differently
- Be able to improve productivity and job satisfaction
- Be better able to monitor and adjust their motivation skills
