Formulas for Business Success through Motivation

P = A x M

Performance equals Ability multiplied by Motivation*

Attract and recruit the Ability in the form of best in class employees, then Motivate to maximise their performance.

R = eM x iM

Retention of your best employees requires the combination of extrinsic Motivation i.e. money, awards, recognition for completing work well at the request of the organisation, as well as appealing to the intrinsic Motivation of the individual i.e. purpose, meaning and shared values. The challenge lies in businesses finding a way to turn these intrinsic ‘keys’ through their vision and mission statements and the development of organisational values that resonate with their employees as well as their external customers.

Nowhere Quite Like North Wales?

In the heady days of the 1960’s, our chairman and founder travelled the forty odd miles from Liverpool to settle in the relative fresh air of North Wales. It was there that he married his childhood sweetheart, settled down and started Worldspan. The rest, as they say, is history!

As a leading event management company, our events team have designed and delivered events in every corner of the world, from events in the UK, Europe and Africa to Asia, North America and Australasia - there is no shortage of pins in the world map of places where we’ve been! With such a record of global delivery, we are often asked where our favourite destination is, whether in the UK or further afield. That is never an easy question to answer - sure we all have our personal favourites but, in designing and suggesting event formats and destinations, it’s the client’s objectives that are the driving force of where we operate.

BT Team Ellen Vendée Globe

It seems hard to believe that on 9th November 2008, 30 boats set sail from Les Sables d’Olonne in France for the start of the Vendee Globe. The legendary single-handed, non-stop, round the world yacht race.

We’ve spent over a year planning the VIP customer hospitality for BT based around the start of the Vendée Globe.

For the team at Worldspan, the logistics of organising this event have been challenging, sometimes extremely difficult, but ultimately very rewarding.
