High-quality motivation is not an end in itself; rather, it serves as the means to achieve peak performance and personal flourishing. The right motivation reduces stress, lowers the risk of burnout, enhances concentration, and promotes an overall sense of well-being—transforming individuals into high performers.
Furthermore, Hermina connects this 'high-quality' motivation to numerous HR themes, such as burnout, well-being, leadership, remote and flexible working, absenteeism, performance management, work addiction, work-life balance, compensation, hybrid working, and aging.
