Managing Performance & Motivation

Managing people successfully is the key to high performing organisations and an understanding of modern motivational techniques is at the heart of the individual performance. Effective management of performance is built around moving from extrinsic ‘carrot & stick’ motivation to 21^st century intrinsic methods of understanding people so that motivation is shaped for individuals. 

Recent studies show that performance is enhanced by managers who understand how to challenge employees constructively based on their current levels of skills to achieve ‘flow’.  Too much challenge will lead to stress and too little to boredom – both resulting in the underperformance of individuals and discontentment in the team.

It will give an overview of reward strategies, performance culture, HR performance metrics and how to conduct effective 1:1 performance management. It will enable participants to leave the course feeling that they not only understand the topic but that they have useful tools to apply to real organisational challenges.

At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each delegate gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
