Thomas, PhD, author of "Intrinsic Motivation at Work, What Really Drives Employee Engagement" What does current research suggest when it comes to motivating employees from within? How can life science companies cultivate an environment that fosters creativity and innovation? What role can HR/OD play when it comes to inspiring, engaging and motivating employees? Rewards and recognition have traditionally been based on what would extrinsically motivate employees to do their job, primarily in the form of bonuses, incentive plans and other external rewards.

The introduction of the HR Business Partner and other progressive models has significantly improved HR efficiency and stakeholder access to services. But some still argue that HR is too focused on the administrative processes, while missing key skills in solid business and operating fundamentals.

The good news is that as we start 2010, there are signs of a gradual economic recovery forecast through at least the third quarter of 2010 and hopes of the IPO window opening wider.
