Motivating for Success

Faced with the 'great immovable' that is the modern-day workforce, managers can too easily fall into the motivational trap of trying to buy, coerce or cajole their employees' motivation.

But motivation cannot be bought, taught, pushed or pulled. This report brings meaning and method back into motivation, and:

• explores the 'accepted wisdom'
• presents the current trends that are influencing what employees want today
• takes managers through the tried and tested - and tried and failed - motivational techniques
• puts Pavlovian perks and pay in their rightful place

This report serves as a practical guide, offering a greater understanding of employees' 'commitment profiles', an insight into the intellectual-material-emotional motivator mix, and key motivational methods that managers can instantly use.
