The Power of Authentic Gratitude

Recognition and acknowledgement are identified as the principal factors behind long-term motivation, task accountability and staff engagement. In remote and hybrid working contexts this vital skill in building staff competency and autonomy can be forgotten or under-valued. Recognising and expressing gratitude for a job well done or for going the extra mile, can build trust, motivate and inspire staff. Building autonomy and self-reliance supports high performance so that staff can contribute to and experience the benefits of a dynamic working environment. This half-day workshop allows managers and leaders to build their skills and capacity for gratitude in order to create a positive and collaborative workplace culture. The training methods employed will centre on developing a highly interactive environment where participants will learn through a combination of short presentations, interactive discussion, exercises and role-plays structured within a ‘safe’ learning environment. Feedback from the trainer will suggest strengths and development areas.
