Programme Overview
“A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected.”
Appreciation at the workplace is not just a good-to-have, in many ways, it is a must-have. This is because employees who feel appreciated and valued are more motivated to do their best, have greater job satisfaction, and consequently, better employee engagement. Moreover, it inculcates a positive interpersonal working relationship that fosters a productive and performing organisation.
This positive energy spills over into how they serve both internal and external customers. This is especially important during this current Covid-19 situation, where team members are working remotely. How can you as a leader, engage and motivate your teams and departments through virtual and remote appreciation? How do you make your team feel connected, valued, and appreciated?
This practical hands-on workshop will answer these common questions that you are likely facing now: How can I lead and manage my team virtually, with my team members working from home due to COVID-19? My staff are disengaged at work and have low morale. How can I improve employee engagement so that they can better contribute to the organisation and serve our customers? How can I better appreciate and motivate my people to reach higher performance and potential as part of People Management and organisation success? As a leader and manager, how can I appreciate my people without depending on monetary rewards and awards?
