University of Bolton STEPS up staff motivation
The programme gave staff at the University of Bolton the opportunity to understand themselves, their motivators and the different approaches to personal self-development.
Feedback from the ten participants was extremely positive with all rating the programme as “Very good” (the highest category).
Describing the event, one delegate stated:
“This was an interesting and informative course that gave an insight into work and home-based problems and remedies.
It helped us to realise that there were ways to take control of our lives and not to hold other people or events responsible for things not going to plan. We also discussed the best way to attain our short term and long term in goals. I felt each segment was personally tailored for my benefit and I took on board all advice that was given.
I think that people will gain confidence in themselves and motivation to achieve their aims from attending this course and it has certainly made me sit back and think. I’m making a real effort to change my life for the better”
Sue Burkinshaw from the Educational Development Unit at the University of Bolton is keen to further develop the STEPS programme with WISEtraining. Discussions are ongoing to deliver a tailored version of it to meet the needs of both staff and students.
