Modern organizations often focus on reward systems such as stock incentives, bonuses and profit sharing as a primary method of increasing employee productivity. While this may help to compete with other organizations for the best people, it does not add significantly to job satisfaction which is strongly related to productivity.

Highly motivated employees enjoy their jobs and demonstrate high levels of productivity. Motivation to high performance depends on a complex combination of personal, management and organizationally based cultural influences.

This workshop examines how these influences together with power and control dynamics affect employee performance.

Workshop Participants Will Learn:

	What really motivates employees to reach their productivity potentials
	Management behaviors that undermine employee motivation
	Management behaviors that bolster employee motivation
	Factors that enhance job satisfaction
	Effective use of power

Who Should Attend?

	Line managers and supervisors
	Project and program managers
	Team leaders and members
	Human Resource professionals
