Program Description

Keeping employees motivated and engaged in achieving business goals is one of the greatest challenges that managers face. It is important that the organization accepts responsibility for equipping the management team with resources to assist them in this daily enterprise that is vital to organizational success.

This session provides this opportunity for managers to learn principles to gain both the understanding of motivational concepts and how to apply this knowledge to their work situations.
