Motivating Colleagues to Perform Certification
Motivating Colleagues to Perform
Employee motivation is at the heart of business success. When employers understand exactly what motivates their workforce, they have the potential to increase not just productivity but also the quality of work, while retaining employees that are happy and satisfied with their jobs.
This may seem obvious but it is surprising how often organizations do not correctly apply the concepts and principles of motivation – missing the immense rewards it can offer, including the immense financial gains. Taking this course will give you the edge against competitors who lack the know how to inspire and maintain motivated action in their organizations.
This course is for employers and leaders that want to get the best performance out of their teams. The content of this course is designed to help both individuals and organizations to understand and confidently apply the skills, tools and techniques to increase motivation in the workplace in a very practical way.
The information is presented in a clear and accessible manner and has incredible potential when applied correctly. You will discover methods to galvanize your team, what to do to avoid counter productive workplace habits, and how to lead your team in the way that will inspire truly sustainable motivation.
This course includes practical tools and strategies to boost and maintain motivation, as well as exercises, tests and other opportunities to assess and apply the knowledge you learn.
What you will learn
You will learn how to:
- Understand people and what motivates them to work
- Assess an individual's or team's level of motivation or demotivation
- Increase employee motivation and prevent situations which diminish it
- Create sustainable motivation which is long lasting and highly personal
- Use different psychological models of motivation utilized by businesses today
- Modify your leadership to be the most effective for motivating your team
- Communicate and lead in ways which are the most empowering personally and for your team
The skills and knowledge you will gain from this course can be applied to any workplace setting and will leave you with a powerful understanding of how to motivate not only others, but also yourself, to achieve the highest levels of performance. There is an increasing trend for rewarding and motivating work which is personally satisfying. Sadly, many employers lack the skills to deliver motivating environments and risk losing their best talent. Leaders need to learn how to successfully motivate their team with intrinsic benefits outside of the usual scope of financial rewards. Leaders who learn to motivate their team will be rewarded with outstanding results, productivity gains and the personal satisfaction of seeing their team grow. This course delivers everything you need to understand and apply the most successful strategies for motivating anybody to reach their highest potential and deliver the best quality work.

I was already quite proficient in many areas that this course covers as I have worked similar jobs before but felt I could benefit from a qualification. This is a very in depth course that covers all areas of being a personal assistant, even ones that I wouldn’t have ever considered needing to learn.
The in-depth learning has built my confidence to put myself out there and try to get back into this career path. I particularly found the section on faxing to be very useful as it’s something that is done in most offices that I’ve found it difficult to come to grips with in the past.
I am already eyeing up more courses on the site and will be sure to give them a try soon.

Excellent course, easy to follow, excellent tutorial videos that set examples out very simply and are easy to pause or fast forward meaning you can go through this course at totally your own speed.
The work sheets are very good as the examples from the video are all replicated clearly and you can skip back and forth between the worksheet and the video if you don’t remember something completely the first time. When you are confident with the subject, you move yourself on to the next one
I love that I can do this completely in my own time and am sure that at the end of the course I will be confident in my own ability to use Excel.

Caroline Powell
This course was easy to read. I could take as long as I needed and go at my own pace and I was surprised to find that this was an accredited course recognised by my employer. It does what it says on the tin.
I would recommend to anybody wanting to gain knowledge in this area, to add to your education section on your CV or even just for fun! The certificate now looks nice in my achievements folder.
I would most definitely enrol in this way of learning again when I am ready to learn another new subject.

Stacey Cowan
So far I am really enjoying the course. the details were sent through to me within 4 hours, even though there was up to a 48 hour wait.
This course is very well structured and has many helpful features, such as the recap option for each module, and the summary section at the end of each module.
I will definitely be recommending this course.

Melissa Newlin
Great insight into Fraud. Having only dealt with certain areas of fraud such as insurance fraud I am finding this course to be a great help to increase my knowledge and understanding of other types of fraud and areas/industries affected.
Hopefully this will help me to look at pursuing jobs that I would not have the confidence to apply for due to lack of knowledge or understanding.

Mohammad Akhtar
I rate this course very highly as this is a very in-depth informative online course that increased my knowledge in Marketing and has given me plenty of useful information to apply to my work.
It had a good framework of information followed by a worksheet so that you could test the knowledge that you’ve just learned. It provided a great deal of information broken down into easy to digest sections and was good value for money as well.
I would definitely recommend this course to others and I know that my brother has taken another course using this website also.

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten

This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)
