DNV GL’s Maritime Academy Hellas is offering on 8 April 2016, a one-day course on Motivation and Empowerment.

Maritime companies constantly try to find new ways of motivating employees in today’s global world, liking thus their performance to their human resources.

A crucial aspect of performance is linked to recruiting employees with appropriate qualifications. Needless to say that this aspect alone does not automatically lead to high performance levels. Moreover, many companies employ qualified personnel with significant experience in the maritime industry, yet they do not meet the performance standards their qualifications imply. The question that arises is “What is missing?” when everything else seems to be in place.

The maritime industry understands more and more nowadays, that in order to achieve the required performance standards, everyday procedures and guidelines are not enough. Employees need to get motivated so that they will show the “extra” commitment needed to take their job one step forward.

This workshop explores the theory of motivation and guides participants to the optimum solution for their line of business. Interactive exercises, activities and role plays empower participants to demonstrate their skills for motivating others as well as understand the process of influencing productivity and performance.

The workshop is offered in cooperation with VenLyS (Reputation and Safety solution Services).
