There’s a disconnect between familiar incentives and what truly solves performance problems at work. Discover new scientific approaches to moving even the most disengaged individuals to achieve your goals.
Motivation Factor® training is intended for professionals in Organizational Development, Human Relations or Management who have found that many traditional approaches to motivation are no longer relevant. Motivation Factor® is a framework for working in sessions with individuals and groups, enabling people to become aware of their own strengths and personal traits – and how to manage them in real interactions at work.
This training program teaches complete processes that allow people form self-made commitments toward a common goal, and the scientific basis behind these processes. The results empower teams of diverse people to work together, and multiply the value of the results they produce — by uncovering and working with individual self-motivation.
Among many abilities gained, training participants become able to:
- Identify and remove obstacles blocking the achievement of goals
- Understand and better manage “threat response”
- Uncover and leverage real reasons why people work to apply their natural talents for lasting motivation
Training can take place in-house location or a hosted location, such as a conference center. As a Motivation Factor® US Alliance Partner, Uncommon Consulting often provides training near Waltham, Boston, and Framingham, Massachusetts. Complete details on upcoming sessions, locations, and cost, are available on our registration page.
Detailed Description
Many of the new scientific findings around motivation deal with incentives. We’ve learned that external incentives don’t really work on complex problems. For technical tasks (like processing parts or documents), the profit motive helps improve performance. But when people need to solve problems that are not so straightforward, financial rewards don’t work as well.
If your employees have to solve complex problems, you need creativity, cooperation, brainstorming.
Some of the newly identified motivators that enhance complex problem solving and collaboration are:
- Autonomy (having control over your own tasks),
- Mastery (the desire to learn and improve skills), and
- Purpose (being part of a greater good)
Most people don’t know how to effectively manage these motivation factors in themselves or others. Motivation Factor®, first developed in Denmark in 2003, translates the science into action plans for aligning the best human motivators behind the challenges you’re facing.
You can apply the most powerful motivators for better thinking and problem solving, if you know what they are and the role they play in your workforce.
The Science Behind the Method
The Motivation Factor® method combines research from positive psychology, neuroscience and motivation into a practical framework that anyone can use.
The scientific research and theories contributing to the Motivation Factor® include:
- the neuropsychological effect of Threat Response
- Emotional and Social Intelligence
- Marcus Buckingham/Gallup’s research on Strengths
- Martin Seligman’s research on Optimism
- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory
Motivation Factor® has simplified and built all of these significant and proven bodies of work into a straightforward, practical set of tools that anyone can use. The method aligns individuals and teams around a shared objective, provides insight and builds trust, and secures commitment to that objective leveraging the strengths inherent in every participant.
