About This Programme

Half-Day Motivation Management Training — The Frameworks to Diagnose Disengagement and Build Lasting Motivation

In three focused hours, this workshop gives managers, team leaders and HR professionals working knowledge of the core motivational frameworks — Maslow, Herzberg and McClelland — and the diagnostic tools to identify why specific team members are disengaged and what targeted action will address it. Immediately applicable from the very next management conversation.

Delivered in-house, tailored to your organisation and team challenges. An outstanding standalone workshop and a strong foundation for the full-day programme.

Why This Course Matters

Diagnose the Cause Before Trying to Fix Disengagement

When someone disengages, the natural response is to push harder. Without knowing whether the cause is an unmet need, a recognition gap or a mismatch, that response often makes things worse.

This half-day workshop gives managers, team leaders and HR professionals working knowledge of the core motivational frameworks and a diagnostic approach they can use in their very next management conversation.

Choosing the Right Format

Half-Day Workshop vs Full-Day Programme

Both formats develop practical motivation management capability. The right choice depends on how deeply your managers need to understand the frameworks and how much time they can commit right now.

Programme Outline

Half-Day Motivation Management Workshop Outline

First Half
Motivational Frameworks & Diagnosing Motivation Barriers

Managers apply Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory and McClelland's Theory of Needs to real team scenarios, then use a structured diagnostic framework to identify whether disengagement in their own team stems from unmet needs, hygiene factor failure, recognition gaps or motivational mismatch.

Second Half
Diagnostic Conversations, Targeted Interventions & Action Planning

Managers practise the core motivation diagnostic conversation — uncovering root causes of disengagement without blame or defensiveness — develop targeted intervention strategies for each team member, and leave with a personal motivation management action plan with specific next steps for every individual on their team.
