<ul><li><strong>9am-10.15am -- Dr. Brad Ward – Two Factor Theory and the Motivated Worker</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>In this session Dr. Ward will unpack Two Factor theory and
demonstrate how it can be used to motivate the modern employee. Examples
from both the academic and practitioner literature will be presented.
Participants will be able to take initial steps to improve employee job
satisfaction in their workplaces. The nuances between engagement and
motivation will be addressed.</p>
<p>Dr. Brad Ward (DBA, CSSGB) is an Associate Professor of Business
Administration at Milligan University, a part time consultant, and hosts
the Business Sense with Brad podcast. Prior to academia, he worked in
automotive manufacturing, with roles such as Quality Control Team
Leader, Field Supervisor, and Quality Engineer. During this time, he
noticed that most employees were not thriving. After he transitioned
into academia, he came across colleagues who were also miserable at
work. This prompted him to study employee motivation, ultimately
discovering Herzberg's time tested Two Factor Theory, and writing The
Motivated Worker book.</p>
