Course Summary
For any organisation to succeed, it is crucial for the employees to want to work and feel motivated to complete their roles. This certainly reigns true for the education sector. Education can be an extremely demanding career, and those involved often need significant amounts of motivation to maximise their productivity.
Motivation is often misunderstood as a simple concept, but that is certainly not the case. To truly motivate them, there must be a strong understanding of that individual’s personal traits, their 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.
Not only does motivation need to apply to an individual, but to a team 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, there must be a strong focus on communication and building a safe working environment. Team’s are much more likely to push through challenges when engaging with open communication with each other and with management.
During this course, you’ll learn:
To understand the importance of a motivated team within the workplace.

To assess external and internal influences in maintaining a flexible team.
To prioritise effective communication amongst the team and remove any barriers negatively impacting communication.
