Motivating Your Team Course

This skill-enhancing course also allows you to achieve two Professional Continual Development CPD points in the non-verifiable Mentoring & Coaching category.

It’s no secret that motivation is critical to success. The challenge is that you can’t demand or manufacture motivation. No amount of “sticks”’ and “carrots” can force people to feel motivated. The most powerful motivation is intrinsic: It comes from within.

So, how do you tap into your team’s motivation? How do you light a fire under your employees’ feet—call upon their innermost needs, drives, and ambitions—and inspire them? In this course, you’ll learn strategies to motivate your team, followed by a final checklist of motivation do’s and don’ts.

We debunk the following three motivational myths in this course:

  • Myth: Money is the single biggest motivator.
  • Myth: Managers are responsible for employee motivation.
  • Myth: Fear is a powerful motivator.

Employee motivation has become a popular topic in team and business management studies. That’s because employee motivation directly impacts your business’s bottom line. For example, increasing employee motivation is known to:

  • Boost productivity.
  • Increase job satisfaction.
  • Reduce employee absenteeism.
  • Improve performance.
  • Promote a positive work culture.

Commercial Landlord & Tenant Relationships Course

The outcome of this 3-week course will be enhanced knowledge of commercial property leasing processes, ensuring that you can efficiently carry out the practical requirements of managing your Landlord and your Tenant.

Property management is a key function of the property industry.  A property portfolio must be carefully managed to maximise the return on investment – income and capital value.

This online course covers the responsibilities of a property manager, ensuring that you understand and can effectively implement processes and strategies to enhance the stakeholders’ relationships.
