Ep 130: A Powerful Approach to Keeping Remote Staff Motivated (with Dr. Paul White)


Listen Later

How do we continue to motivate and appreciate our staff in times of prolonged crisis? It has been over a year since the world shut down due to the pandemic and it has been challenging to stay motivated and connected in a virtual work environment.
Dr. Paul White makes work relationships work. He is a speaker and trainer who has taught all around the world, from NASA to the CDC, and has co-authored The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.
In this episode he shares the 5 ways to show your coworkers appreciation, but perhaps more importantly, he shares how learning which actions matter most to the person you are interacting with is essential - and - how easily you can miss the mark if you don’t get that right.
How do you know what is important, or conversely, what is least motivational in remote work relationships?
