The Best of Motives: Informing and Involving

Introduction

A 2006 study [1] found that just 15% of UK workers considered themselves "highly motivated", with as many as a quarter admitting to "coasting" in their jobs. By improving motivation within the workforce, businesses can boost productivity significantly.

The Best of Motives: Informing and Involving is a helpful introduction to the art of motivation. Managers will be shown how to share information, how to encourage staff to take control of their jobs and how to involve the team in decisions. The techniques explored in the course will enable them to empower the workforce, eliminate apathy and improve productivity.

Famous faces including Gary Olsen and Gwyneth Strong show you how to keep your staff motivated and how easy it is to make them feel de-motivated simply by whether or not you keep them informed and include their input in your projects. A manager who spends all his time breathing down the necks of his team, and as a result struggles to manage his workload, learns how the six steps of motivation improve the team’s overall performance and decrease his own workload.

Set in everyday surroundings, well-known performers act out realistic situations in a light hearted and entertaining way that will help you recognise some common errors and understand how to correct them.
