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.
