Team Motivation and Performance Management

Master the fundamentals of managing team performance whilst keeping people motivated and engaged.

What is this course about?

Performance management is one of the areas managers find most challenging – particularly when it comes to addressing underperformance whilst maintaining positive relationships, or recognising good work in ways that genuinely motivate rather than feel tokenistic.

This course covers setting clear expectations, providing constructive feedback, addressing underperformance and recognising good work in ways that genuinely motivate. You will learn to balance support with accountability whilst maintaining the positive relationships that are the foundation of a high-performing team. You will leave with practical, immediately usable tools and approaches for managing performance confidently and fairly.
