Join us for the very first ‘Live Knowledge Hour event!’ Spend an insightful 60 minutes with the Norfolk Knowledge Hub experts and have the opportunity to ask questions and meet other attendees, on a range of engaging and relevant topics.
There are countless articles and books written on the subject of motivation, and in particular, how to get the most out of our employees in the workplace. It is fairly clear that there is no one set of step-by-step rules to encourage people to maintain 110% effort 100% of the time.
Motivation can be defined as energy. Consider for a moment how you feel when you are motivated or demotivated. Are you energised? Are you engaged? Or do you feel lacklustre, tired and stressed? If we have too many people in our teams and businesses who are consistently demotivated, then the impact can be dramatic and difficult to recover. “
Content/Takeaway
Gain an understanding of the impact of low motivational levels, how this impacts your business and what you can do about it.
Recognising the factors that influence our motivation within the workplace
Understanding how to help your team stay motivated
Discover the impact of a demotivated staff, and how to transform negativity
How to strengthen negative and demotivated staff
Tips to encourage your people to remain focussed & engaged
