Why don't employees come to work motivated?

North Star SHRM will be hosting a seminar titled: Why Don’t Employees Come to Work Motivated?  on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 from 8 am to 9:30 am. All North Star SHRM members are invited to attend.  In addition, all Elk River, Monticello, and I-94 West Chamber members are invited to attend.  There is no cost to attend.
The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and small business owners.  A recent study concluded that only 26% of all employees are performing at their full potential.  Will that level of performance enable you to thrive in this highly competitive global market place?  Leaders possess an immense amount of power in creating a motivational environment for their employees.  This fast moving and engaging program will show how executing the fundamentals of leadership greatly impact the motivational choices employees make to work faster, harder and smarter.  Conversely, this program will show the unintended consequences of choosing not to execute their job description.  Think money is the ultimate motivator, think again!  Learning objectives are:

• Discover how managers create behaviors they don’t want and what to do about them
• Be able to fulfill employee motivational needs
• Recognize the impact of generational issues when motivating the workforce
• Achieve dramatic improvements in employee motivation and performance
• Get employees to want to come to work

This seminar will be presented by John Graci.
