1. Motivation
What motivates you?

2. Motivation Motivation may not be the same for everyone
Praise, Recognition and appreciation are among the top motivating factors with employees
Salary or compensation also play a role
As a career progresses, other factors may play into role for motivation, many of which are not specific to individual groups or regions of the world
What are some of the personal motivators to you?
Exercise:
Discuss with the person to your left and right what their motivators are. How are they different? Does your motivation fall in line with theirs? Has the motivation of the two people you spoke with changed over time?

3. Motivation Frederick Herzberg Motivational Theory
Certain factors attribute to job satisfaction
Other separate factors contribute to job dissatisfaction
Step One: Eliminate Job Dissatisfaction
Herzberg called the causes of dissatisfaction "hygiene factors". To get rid of them, you need to:
Fix poor and obstructive company policies.
Provide effective, supportive and non-intrusive supervision.
Create and support a culture of respect and dignity for all team members.
Ensure that wages are competitive.
Build job status by providing meaningful work for all positions.
Provide job security.

Step Two: Create Conditions for Job Satisfaction
To create satisfaction, Herzberg says you need to address the motivating factors associated with work. He called this "job enrichment". His premise was that every job should be examined to determine how it could be made better and more satisfying to the person doing the work. Things to consider include:
Providing opportunities for achievement.
Recognizing workers' contributions.
Creating work that is rewarding and that matches the skills and abilities of the worker.
Giving as much responsibility to each team member as possible.
Providing opportunities to advance in the company through internal promotions.
Offering training and development opportunities, so that people can pursue the positions they want within the
company.

5. Exercise Motivation in the workplace
Purpose - To identify and discuss motivating and demotivating factors and distinguish between the two. Engage in conversations about the topic.
Directions - Break into two separate groups and present the following scenario, one to each group:
Group 1: You are a managing director for 15 scientists for a small biotechnology company that has recently undergone critical R&D investments to develop new drugs. The growth and recent PR has created a buzz around the office and employee morale is at an all time high. As you consider future growth plans, provide 5 motivating actions you plan to incorporate with individual members of the group as you anticipate future success with the company (Incorporate personal experiences that drove motivation in your personal career). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Group 2: You are a managing director for 15 scientists for a small biotechnology company that has recently undergone critical R&D investments to develop new drugs. The growth and recent PR has created a buzz around the office and employee morale is at an all time high. As you consider future growth plans, provide 5 de-motivating actions you plan to incorporate with individual members of the group as you anticipate having to hire more members. Your objective is the de-motivate the current members and frustrate team members (Utilizing personal experiences in your current workplace if possible).
After 7-10 minutes ask the groups to come back together and compare results to discuss for 3 minutes. What were the motivating factors for group 1? What about de-motivating for group 2? Where there similarities between the two? Was compensation/pay/salary in either of the motivational actions?
This exercise will show the group that there are many different types of motivating and demotivating factors in the workplace.

6. Exercise Learn team motivators
