The problems in performance today are more about management than employees. Employees are not lazy - they are uninspired. FIRE UP! is about igniting that spark of passionate performance in each employee... and it all starts with you, the manager.

You want your employees to perform. But things have changed - the industrial age and its command-and-control management approach are over (most of manufacturing moved offshore). Today we have a thinking (service) economy; employee thinking and creative responses drive performance - and they control them. Management must now "engage and inspire" this new age employee.

Here is how it works: Employees commit their best when they work in areas that they like and that match the way they think; we’ll call these talent areas. The more they work in their talent areas, the more connected and passionate they become in their work. The more passionate they become, the more energy they commit to performance. Soon, they reach their "zone" - the place where they love what they do and do it consistently well. This is the key to performance; this is the new role of the manager. Get employees to the "zone" and they give their best and drive results.

FIRE UP!, an exclusive Humanetrics LLC program, is a high energy and interactive program for all mid and senior level managers and anyone who manages others. Its goal: create successful Millennial Managers - managers who know how to ignite employee performance by creating dynamic workplaces and by activating the passions and talents of each employee. They do this by hiring the right employee, setting performance expectations, providing performance feedback and hosting career conversations.

FIRE UP! is not just a program - it is a also new way of thinking about managing. It focuses differently on our most valuable asset - the humanity (heart and mind, passions and thinking) of our employees. FIRE UP! is a new management attitude that commits to creating the very best high energy and dynamic workplace... because that is what it takes to ignite performance.
