About This Course

Welcome to "Enhancing Employee Engagement." This course explores the critical gap between traditional motivation strategies and modern behavioral science, revealing why outdated "carrot and stick" approaches often fall short in today's dynamic workplace.

Drawing insights from the science of motivation, we delve into the power of intrinsic drives — autonomy, mastery, and purpose — that truly fuel engagement and productivity. You will learn to identify and address the three root causes of job misery: anonymity, irrelevance, and immeasurement.

  1. Understand the evolution of motivational systems and the shift towards Motivation 3.0.

  3. Implement strategies to foster autonomy, mastery, and purpose within your team or organization.
  4. Improve employee job satisfaction, boost performance, and reduce turnover.
  5. Build a culture that unlocks the full potential of your workforce.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
