How to Engage Your Team

A motivated employee is a retained employee — and in a skills-short economy, that's not a small thing.

About the course

This 1-day workshop for managers uses the concept of 9 Enneagram types to understand core motivations, applies Hertzberg and Maslow's theories in a South African context, and covers generational theory to help engage GenZ talent. The result: managers who use feedback as a motivator, not a whip.
