The success of a company relies largely on having highly-motivated employees who are productive and creative. It’s crucial to understand the link between motivation and performance in discovering what motivates employees. New Bob always believes in the importance of motivational training to improve employees’ efficiency and motivation in gaining job productivity and satisfaction. Hence, a full day motivational training entitled, “Motivation for Higher Productivity: Positive Thinking in The Workplace” was recently carried out on 31^st May 2014 (Saturday) from 9am- 5.30pm at New Bob Centre. The training was conducted by an experienced enthusiastic speaker cum trainer, Mr Michael Xavier.

A total of 40 employees took part in the exciting motivational training. Participants were divided into 4 different groups namely Athena, Vivid, Possible, and Fantastic 8. The topics of the training revolve around four main modules:

Module

1: Introduction to motivation

2: Personal belief system

3: Physiology of a highly motivated person

4: Thoughts into action

Apart from the discussion on the interesting topics, participants were also involved in various engaging group activities where each group was awarded with points to determine the final winner. Participants were exposed to useful points such as the importance of using positive words and positive actions such as correct posture, handshake and eye contact at work.

In addition, the trainer also explained in detailed the true meaning of beliefs as well as an exposure on emotional intelligence that encompasses self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. It was undeniably a successful training as everyone had heaps of fun participating in the activities, and paid full attention to the trainer. Congrats to team Vivid for emerging as the champion!
