HR Happy Hour – Episode 82 – ‘The Motivation Show’

Thursday January 13, 2011 – 8PM ET

This week, in a first for the HR Happy Hour, we turn the reins of the show over to not just one guest host, but two!

Join guest co-hosts Trish McFarlane, practicing HR pro and author of the HR Ringleader blog, and Paul Hebert, owner of i2i, a Marketing and Incentive design consultancy, to talk about the big issues in motivation, incentives, recognition and engagement.

Words that many HR professionals perceive as interchangeable will be our topic on this week’s HR Happy Hour show. We’ll specially cover:

What is motivation and can HR do anything about it?

What can HR do to do “engagement” better?

Is it really HR’s problem?

How should a company run incentives and rewards programs?

What are most businesses getting right? Getting wrong?

Greater understanding and ownership by the HR profession is needed in order to make a more effective impact on the business. From guiding behaviors that need to continue to fostering environments that discourage the less desirable behavior- HR is involved.

Please set your clocks, watches, iPhones – whatever, you don’t want to miss this special show with Trish and Paul. And who knows, maybe Steve and Shauna can run the Twitter back channel for a change!
