Overview

What really matters to your employees in this economy when pay raises have all but evaporated: Learning opportunities? Flexible schedules? More challenging work? How can you elicit honest answers? What can you do now to ensure that your employees will stay after the economy improves?

Based upon the bestselling book, Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans, this course provides strategies to help you motivate and retain employees. You will learn techniques to communicate effectively, request feedback, make work more challenging, recognize achievement and effort, demonstrate respect, and support employee growth. You'll also learn what to do if you cannot offer employees what they want.

At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to

• examine and apply the Maslow and Herzberg theories of motivation
• promote principles of motivation theories in the work environment by using the Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em strategies
• describe how today's companies have applied these techniques successfully
• explain the supervisor's role in motivating employees
• create action plans for applying motivational principles and strategies at the office
