About the course
De færreste motiveres af løn alene
Kurset giver dig en ny forståelse for, hvordan målsætninger både kan øge og hæmme motivation, og hvordan det samme gør sig gældende for belønningssystemer, hvis der ikke er sammenhæng med virksomhedens overordnede strategi og kultur.
Du opnår kompetencer til at opstille motiverende målsætninger for det team, du har ansvar for, og til at udvikle præstationsbaserede belønningssystemer, der motiverer, inspirerer og understøtter samarbejde.
Kurset kvalificerer dig til en videre karriere som leder, projektleder eller HR‑medarbejder.
