Consider what makes working for this company a positive experience for its employees. What is the essence of its approach to motivation? How does it combine the use of various motivational techniques to be successful? How is the combination of techniques that it uses unique in any way? Do the company’s motivational strategies serve as an attraction for new employees, or do they improve employee retention? What could be taken as best practices from their example? What could be improved upon? Make recommendations on the specific steps the company could take to address deficiencies.
Your slides should provide key information; your speaker’s notes will contain the details of your message. You must include a minimum of 5 outside references plus the text, for a total of six references.
