Staff motivation - particularly for management - can be vastly improved through training or corporate events, according to a major industry expert.

The Chartered Institute of Personal Development (CIPD) revealed that management deficiencies could be attributed to a ten to 15 per cent drop in overall company productivity, highlighting the need for investment in improving the higher levels of a business.

Adviser of learning, training and development at the CIPD John McGurk said that due to the current economic climate, many people were feeling pushed into making a business case for management training in order to enhance company income and help in motivating employees.

He continued: "If government is serious about making a long-term impact on UK productivity and not just a knee-jerk response to the impending recession, then the people management skills of our workforce should be high on its agenda."
