“Empowering Employees and Increasing Productivity” is a course that will help you get a new perspective on how to empower your employees, so they become more engaged and productive.

Is your team working together and achieving more through teamwork than the individuals can achieve on their own? This course will inspire you to challenge your employees to reach higher levels of performance while building their confidence and strengths.

The instructor provided a comprehensive overview of how to maximize employee engagement and increase productivity in the workplace. This course served as an excellent refresher for several leadership essentials, including the effective delegation of meaningful work assignments, setting SMART goals as the foundation for performance objectives, and providing actionable and timely feedback. Nicely constructed course!

This course was great at providing very specific actions I can put into practice immediately. I am sure most managers, including me, like to think they do a good job at directing their team. This made me realize that I need to hit pause sometimes and really provide them better feedback and help with clear goals.

It is important to always give continuous feedback to your direct reports whether it be positive or negative feedback. The positives about this is always re-establishing expectations and ensuring that both of you are in sync on goals and objectives as well as deadlines.

Enjoyed the information provided under this topic. This has been confirmation that the managers in my company could do much better to improve employee engagement if they would try harder and be more sincere about doing it.

Very good course overall and I think having this course put into words what many people are wanting/needing in their role is extremely helpful not just for managers but for employees as well.
