Many problems of modern organizations have their roots in poorly designed jobs. Although most managers are unaware of it, most jobs are designed so that they bring out the worst in people, make communication and supervision difficult, obscure the quality of performance, lead to worker alienation, and increase the amount of management effort and cost necessary to achieve results through people.

In this workshop, participants learn to design jobs for volunteers or staff so that results are achieved as economically as possible and so that the worker gets maximum satisfaction from the work. Using the techniques learned in this seminar, managers are able to draw on the vast reserve of untapped employee and volunteer potential, focusing the power of that resource in an efficient and rewarding manner on accomplishing meaningful goals.

The cost of lunch is $10 (advance payment required).
