Leaders of successful sales organizations focus on strategic planning, intentional hiring, and effective coaching. They build a solid and well-defined sales framework that undergirds their sales team’s efforts. They prioritize hiring people who have the right skills, energy, and outlook. And they develop work environments that are highly structured, purposefully challenging, and appropriately supportive. When sales leaders achieve a good balance of these three factors, the sales process is streamlined, organized, and successful. 

• Build a strategic framework   

• Hire qualified salespeople  

• Coach your team members

Employees working in an organization bring a level of enthusiasm and energy to the work they do in the organization. They are committed and creative in their approach. This energy is crucial for any organizational success, and it is termed as emotional motivation. The factors influencing this energy level can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. In this lesson, you will learn about both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and how to leverage them. 

How do you motivate your team to do their best? You give them the tools, trust, and time to make their jobs personal. You provide enough challenge for them to work at facilitating better, but not so hard that they become discouraged. Help them connect with their work and give them a reason to work, which is beyond the paycheck. 

• Explain the challenges of using extrinsic motivation 

• Learn the three methods of intrinsic motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose

With COVID-19 meaning that home working is no longer an option but a necessity for many, what are the potential side effects on our health and work performance. Employers may need to provide additional training to ensure appropriate supervision and work behaviours. These include remote technology, communication skills development, time management and ergonomics.

Effective remote working requires greater self-control and discipline to avoid the boundaries between work and personal life becoming blurred. Research has shown that, in general, homeworkers tend to work longer than office workers and this increases with the use of technology. Homeworkers do benefit from greater working time autonomy, but how effectively this is applied depends on the discipline of the individual.

The ‘Effective Remote Working’ bundle includes 3 months access to 10 online courses and over 7 hours of eLearning.

The Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority has made major changes to the regulations. People who work in tanks and closed rooms are the biggest difference that the regulation "Work in tanks" has fallen away. This is replaced by section 29 of the regulations «execution of work», which states that all work in closed rooms shall be performed «without danger to life or health». A simple requirement that gives the employer a great deal of responsibility.

New SOLAS requirements: Exercises in closed rooms and rescue, as well as portable gas measuring equipment.

Applies to: All ships covered by SOLAS and all high-speed vessels, mobile offshore drilling units and dynamically positioned vessels

Our courses are in accordance with SOLAS-IMO requirements and the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority - Execution of work

- A room that is large enough that you can enter it completely and perform the work tasks you have been assigned
- Limited air circulation

Content:

- Review of public laws and regulations
- Know which constituents a safe breathing air contains
- How to make a gas measurement before entering
- Plan entry jobs and rescue operations in closed rooms
