Effective Motivation of Transportation Employees

The Florida LTAP Center presents this webinar series on Effective Motivation of Transportation Employees. This webinar series is divided into three two-hour webinars designed to provide supervisors and managers with the tools necessary to motivate employees.  In this series we will cover what makes agencies successful, how to define worker needs and wants, how to take advantage of those for increased productivity through rewards, how to utilize the “One Minute Manager” approach, and how to improve communications.

Learning Objectives

• Understand how to effectively motivate your personnel.
• Know how to evaluate the needs of both the workers and the organization.
• Understand how to analyze and improve performance.
• Provide tools to assist in motivating your personnel.

Each session will award 2 PDHs each. A total of 6 PDHs can be earned for fully attending all 3 sessions.

These webinars are provided at no cost and will award a certificate of training for attendees requesting Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or a certificate of completion verifying your attendance. Certificates will be awarded only for fully attending each webinar.

Please note – space for this webinar is limited, and Florida local agencies are being given first priority!
