Beyond Pay-For-Performance: Leveraging Intrinsic Motivation for Exceptional Performance
Keynote Speaker: Kenneth W. Thomas, PhD, author of "Intrinsic Motivation at Work, What Really Drives Employee Engagement"
- What does current research suggest when it comes to motivating employees from within?
- How can life science companies cultivate an environment that fosters creativity and innovation?
- What role can HR/OD play when it comes to inspiring, engaging and motivating employees?
Rewards and recognition have traditionally been based on what would extrinsically motivate employees to do their job, primarily in the form of bonuses, incentive plans and other external rewards. For positions that require creativity and innovative ideas, particularly in an industry like the life sciences, this approach may actually diminish performance and foster short-term thinking.

- An overview of the current research on intrinsic motivation, specifically in the areas of meaningfulness, choice, competence and progress
- Examples of how HR/OD leaders have fostered environments that encourage people bring their best to work
- Intrinsic motivation metrics such as increased employee productivity and talent attraction
- Dynamic conversations with participants who share their experience and ideas about how they cultivate ‘the best of’ in their companies.
By understanding the natural rewards that cultivate creativity, innovation and engagement, we can integrate practices that move us beyond the average and into the exceptional.
Attend this workshop and you will:
- Understand what intrinsic motivation truly is
- Learn how to tap into employee’s intrinsic motivation and generate tangible business results
- Listen to practical examples of how companies are incorporating intrinsic motivation into their total rewards programs
- Review tools to assess and develop such programs in your workplace
- Connect with industry professionals and share best practices
Special Guest Speakers:
These Life Science leaders will share their experience implementing programs and practices that incorporate the latest intrinsic motivation research:
- Heather McGaughey, VP/HR Jazz Pharmaceuticals
- Ryan Watts, PhD, Associate Director, Neuroscience, Genentech
- Steve Kowalski, PhD, Principal, Leadership Development, Learning, Organizational Development and Diversity, Genentech
We realize that it is an on-going challenge for HR/OD professionals to make a case for the strategic business value of HR/OD initiatives. Accordingly, we welcome and encourage you to invite non-HR/OD business partners within your company to this workshop as the business benefits of intrinsic motivation programs will be highlighted and therefore help you to promote such initiatives to your business partners.
