This empowering CPE pre-approved learning program will provide you with fail-safe strategies for building an organizational culture that is conducive to maximizing the potential of team members. This will be accomplished by encouraging high levels of trust, empowerment, and teamwork so that your organization will achieve quantum leaps in performance, productivity, and profitability.
As a result of completing this self-directed learning program, you will be better able to:

  • recognize the top 10 things to avoid in order to boost performance,
  • master five strategies that will help you recruit the "right" people,
  • apply a system of rewards and recognitions that will boost performance,
  • master seven strategies that will reduce turnover,
  • deal more effectively with negative employees.

Here is what two expert reviewers had to say about this learning program:

"This self-directed learning program utilizes a step-by-step approach to provide managers with a toolkit for transforming an organization's culture to increase both individual and group productivity. The old maxim regarding motivation is that you can't motivate anyone, however, what you can do is provide an environment in which people motivate themselves. This how-to learning program addresses this maxim by describing in detail how to establish a self-motivating environment in an organization and thereby increase performance."
-Richard F. Patterson, EdD, RD, Assistant Dean, College of Health and Human Services and Associate Professor, Hospitality Management and Dietetics, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky

"We must all learn how to hire, train, maintain and motivate the best employees we can in order to maximize our performances in the work place. This CPE program does an excellent job of providing anyone the knowledge they will need to do that."
-Donna S. Martin, EdS, RD, LD, SNS, Director, School Nutrition Program, Burke County Board of Education, Waynesboro, GA
