A well-motivated workforce is an essential requirement for achieving positive results. A manager wants staff to be dynamic and proactive, seeking to attain, maintain and develop excellence in all that they do. This training activity provides managers with an opportunity to consider how they can motivate staff and what are the essential skills and processes needed to motivate the team and the individuals within it.
Participants discover what motivates and demotivates them and are introduced to Herzberg’s theory of motivation. They then reflect upon the extent to which what they have identified fits in with Herzberg’s theory. Following this, participants examine how they can ensure that they are taking account of motivating factors in their daily work. The training activity closes with an opportunity for participants to assess their current position with regard to motivating and developing their staff.
Who is it for: This training resource is intended for use by trainers to demonstrate how managers can motivate staff.
