Your presentation was titled “Four Stages of an Employee’s Work Motivation”. This was a very timely presentation to begin our new year. Our focus is retaining employees and finding the right fit for each position. The information that you provided was helpful and the booklet will serve as a nice ‘quick reference’ when needed. Again, thank you for coming and hope to see you again.”

The Four Stages of Employee Work Life
A motivated effective employee is the source of power for producing results. Examine the 4 stages of motivation that employees may encounter and what to do to keep them motivated.
- The Motivated/Ineffective new employee wants to do well and is open and ambitious.
- The Motivated/Effective staff member enjoys to come to work and feels like an important part of the team.
- The De-Motivated/Effective worker does the least amount possible and does not look forward to coming to work.
- The De-Motivated/Ineffective employee has a grudge against the organization and/or certain people and dramatically affects morale.
Maintaining good internal relationships is great for business and dramatically improves productivity and the bottom line. The presentation focuses on how to be an effective performance coach, learning the language of temperament, and why money is not a motivator at work.
From Micromanagement To Mentoring
Micromanagement is the excessive involvement by a manager with an employee in regards to their performance. The manager’s over-involvement creates the opposite of the desired effect of improved performance.
By understanding the dynamics of the manager/employee relationship, a micromanager can transform into a performance coach by using the 5 Attributes of a Good Manager model of successful interaction. This approach will elevate the effectiveness of any manager that wants to improve.
