Without a skilled captain to steer it safely to harbor, a ship is as good as lost at sea. The same can be said of the business world—without the right people at its helm, a firm is left to flounder on an uncharted course, one that may very well send it drifting into the dismal abyss of financial ruin. Arguably then, it stands to reason that employees are the most important resource within a company. After all, they are the vital crew members who will allow you, the captain, to navigate the corporate boat to safe harbor (i.e., profitability). This 1-hour interactive online course covers the importance of ensuring motivation among employees and details a variety of methods that can be used selectively to bolster team members. Case studies illustrate specific examples of the ways this information can be put to use, both with employees and the leaders of an organization.
At the conclusion of this course, the student would have learned to:
Identify a company’s most important resource
Accurate estimate cost associated with attrition
Demonstrate the ability to build trust with an employee
Compare and select ways to motivate an employee
Recall how employers can gain from a motivated employee
