An in-depth look at what motivates people, and how to use this when motivating remotely
Learn a wide range of interventions you need to be making with remote staff to maintain their levels of motivation, even when they're away from the office.
Whilst some people love the peace and quiet which comes with working from home, for many, the lack of contact with colleagues in the office and the information source that brings them, can be very demotivating. Even those who claim to thrive when working remotely, need a little extra help from managers and leaders to maintain their levels of motivation.
For many managers and leaders, motivating people who aren't in the same room as them is quite an alien concept - they're used to giving spontaneous pep-talks over a desk, to delivering positive messages in the kitchen, or to giving immediate congratulations on a job well done. When remote, these things aren't available and managers need other methods to motivate their teams.
In this in-depth virtual course, you'll learn what motivates different types of people, and how you can create a motivating environment wherever someone's based.
- The difficulties when trying to motivate someone who's working remotely
- The 3 motivational needs you'll find in any team or workplace
- The 3 motivational modes you can use for your team members

- Appreciation that when motivating from a distance, new techniques are needed
- The 3x3 grid of personal motivators to guide motivation interventions
