About This Programme

Motivation Management Training — Diagnose the Root Cause of Disengagement and Build Teams That Stay Motivated

Most managers treat disengagement as a performance problem — when it is almost always a motivation management problem. UK organisations lose an estimated £340 billion annually to disengagement, yet most managers have never been taught the frameworks to systematically diagnose why motivation fails or how to address it for each individual on their team.

This full-day programme equips managers and HR professionals with the complete Motivation Management toolkit — from Maslow, Herzberg and McClelland through to practical diagnostic conversations and sustained culture-building strategies — to identify, address and prevent motivational breakdown across diverse teams.

Programme Outline

Full-Day Motivation Management Training Programme

Morning Session
Motivational Frameworks & Diagnosing Motivation Barriers

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

Afternoon Session — Part 1
Diagnostic Conversations & Targeted Intervention

Managers practise conducting motivation diagnostic one-to-ones — structured conversations that uncover the root cause of disengagement without defensiveness. They apply Self-Determination Theory to ensure autonomy, competence and relatedness are built into their everyday management practice, and develop targeted intervention strategies for each motivation barrier type.

Afternoon Session — Part 2
Building a Motivating Culture & Personal Action Planning

Managers develop practical tools for sustaining motivation at team level — recognition systems, autonomy structures, career development conversations and psychological safety. Every delegate leaves with a personalised Motivation Management Action Plan mapping each direct report's current motivation status and specific next steps.
