Course Overview
Motivated employees accomplish more than those who watch the clock, feel no sense of a larger purpose, and struggle to complete their daily tasks. This is especially true when external or internal forces add another layer of challenge. Whether it’s layoffs, hiring freezes, changes in telecommuting, or something else, managers need to know how to set the stage for motivation during ordinary and extraordinary times. This course offers practical information and advice for getting motivation right.
