Mobilising Employee Energy & Commitment

THE CASE:

Many companies complain that their employees are de-motivated, unproductive, disinterested, or disloyal. Jeffrey Pfeffer (Stanford University) argues that these companies get exactly what they deserve. If you create a "toxic" (dysfunctional) work environment, you are going to get toxic behavior from your employees. According to Pfeffer's research, companies that manage people right will outperform companies that don't by 30% to 40%. Leading companies prove time and again that people are the best source of long-term competitive advantage. Employee motivation enhances productivity, reduces turnover and absenteeism, and improves communication and teamwork throughout your organisation.

OVERVIEW:

This program will teach your organisation's leaders how to motivate employees and help your organisation create a functional, motivating work environment: an environment in which employees can motivate themselves and in which motivated employees can succeed. Using research on best practices from leading companies and common errors made by "toxic" companies, participants will be asked to analyze a team, department, or business unit of your organisation and make recommendations for improvement.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This program is available in two formats:

A one-day leadership development workshop for line managers or business teams in which participants learn how to motivate individual employees and create a motivational work environment.

Consultation is also available upon request. A iLEAD consultant can help you analyze current employee motivation and morale, set new objectives, identify your highest priority opportunities for improvement, develop a plan to mobilize employee energy and commitment on your team or throughout your organisation, and measure the success of the program.

Food For Thought:

Focus, commitment, and capability are the three crucial ingredients for attaining RESULTS. You can have a great vision (focus) and all the commitment in the world, but if you don't have the skills for the job, you are not going anywhere. Likewise, focus and skill are meaningless without the commitment, motivation, or the drive to get things done. And finally, you can have tons of commitment and great skills, but if you are not going in the right direction, you are going to burn a lot of valuable resources (being busy but not productive): commitment & capability must be focused. Focus, commitment and capability should all be geared to the execution of strategy. Conclusion: develop precisely those skills that will most help the organisation achieve its vision. (Joel Shapiro)
