Course Summary
For any organisation to succeed, the employees must want to work and feel motivated to complete their roles. This certainly holds true for the education sector. Education can be an extremely demanding career, and those involved often need significant motivation to maximise their productivity.
Motivation is often misunderstood as a simple concept, but that is certainly not true. To truly motivate them, there must be a strong understanding of that individual’s traits, wants, and dislikes. For any attempt at motivation to be successful, one would need to utilise this knowledge and implement rewards and incentives that apply to these wants.
Motivation needs to apply to both individuals and teams as a whole. Motivating a team can be more complicated as there are various people to consider, all with unique personal motivations. To engage with these, a strong focus must be on communication and building a safe working environment. Teams are much more likely to push through challenges when engaging in open communication with each other and with management.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of a motivated team within the workplace.
- Evaluate each team member and recognise their personal motivations for maximising performance.
- Examine the team as a whole and align personal motivations with one another to create a united team.
- Identify factors that can demotivate team members and eliminate these from the environment.
- Assess external and internal influences in maintaining a flexible team.
- Prioritise effective communication amongst the team and remove any barriers negatively impacting communication.
- Utilise various methods to measure team performance and reassess existing motivational tactics.
