August 2026 Luncheon with SHRM Sarasota - Motivating Without Money: (No Cost) Steps for Dramatically Improving Performance and Morale

August 26, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Check-in & Networking 11:30AM-12:00PM
Program 12:00-1:00PM

According to the Society of Human Resource Management, attracting, engaging and retaining both salaried and hourly workers is a leading concern of American employers.

In this engaging and solution-filled educational session, Kristine Sexter will zealously (and humorously!) illustrate how owners, executives, managers and human resource professionals can measurably increase employee engagement, performance, and retention - all without focusing on money as a primary strategy.

All attendees will receive a customized handout that will include step-by-step instructions and specific directions for immediately implementing the strategies revealed in this session!

Key Learning Outcomes:

Why Money has NEVER Been an Effective Motivator

  • Learn Why Money Demotivates!
  • Why Great Pay and Bountiful Benefits Are Not the Complete Answer
  • “So What DO Employees Want?” Effective Motivators for Modern American Workplaces

The Top 10 (No Cost!) Steps for Improving Performance and Morale

  • The 10 Real-World, No-Cost, Steps Leaders
