Motivated and Engaged Employees are everyone's dream come true ! Happier and more productive employees, less absenteeism and turnover, better performance, better cost management, better profitability ... it is almost a panacea for most, if not all, the ills, that Corporations and Institutions face !
And yet, it has never been easy to figure out sustainable ways to improve the motivation and engagement levels of your Employees, Managers, and Leaders.
There are some tenets of ancient wisdom, which have been practiced for centuries, but without really any long term improvement in employee motivation or engagement. We have, explicitly, or implicitly, believed that Employees are motivated by their compensation, rewards, and bonuses; the threat of a bad performance rating, or of being fired. But is that really true ? What really does motivate all of us ? As it turns out, the truth is a little more complicated than that !
This Course will take you you into the depths of Motivation Theories, the research behind them, and what their findings and lessons are ! It also delves into evolution and history of Human Motivation, to provide a context to understand its complexities; and what works, and what does not, under different circumstances.
You will understand, from the research and theories, the complex set of factors that do motivate all of us, and get some practical lessons and applications from them.
Whether you are a Leader, or a follower, these lessons will provide valuable tips on Motivation.
