How to Keep Your Creative Teams Motivated

May 25, 4:00 PM EDT

Even without the incentives common in for-profit companies

Kate Schmieding runs a creative department of Civil Servants. That means no bonuses, no stock options, no fast promotions, and no all-expenses-paid trips to Disney – not sour grapes, just public sector, ‘it’s the taxpayers’ money’ reality.

In this session, Kate will share the techniques she uses that keep writers, editors, graphic artists, and producers engaged and motivated.

You will leave Kate’s session energized - ready to put many of the tips in place in your own organization.

Some sneak preview tips from Kate:

  • Variety in roles on projects
  • Low pressure, high payoff creative expressions
  • Emphasis on work-life balance (for real)

HS Creative Operations was a great chance to see people in person again, focus my attention on the presentations, and see how other agencies are tackling today's issues.

It was so easy to connect with the presenters - having some one-on-one time with them where I could ask specific questions was incredible!
