The Motives Driving Our Well-Being & Performance
We Asked 1000s of Employees What They Want Most At Work
Our research revealed the 28 psychological, emotional, and social needs that fall into 10 overarching motive domains.
THE MOTIVES CIRCUMPLEXTM
A Bold New Approach Based on the Latest Well-being Science
It all started with a single question, “What makes a work life well-lived?”
And honestly, a fair bit of frustration.
We called B.S. on all of it. The conflicting expert advice. The recycled research. The “golden ticket” promises everywhere.
Years of our research revealed the truth: well-being and success happen when our most important motives are met. There are 28 of these human needs, but the ones that drive you are uniquely yours.
To turn our insights into action, we created a platform with actionable tools that leaves “one-size-fits-none” leadership behind, taking a human personalized approach that actually works.
We create people-first work cultures that actually put people’s human needs first, and motive-driven leaders that people don’t want to leave.
Innovative Insights & Tools for Bigger Impact
Everyone talks about improving culture, leadership, and well-being-
yet no one is actually personalizing it. That’s the gap Motives Met fills.
The Motives Met
Human Needs Assessment™
Thriving is Personal, It’s Not Universal
We created our assessment to shine a spotlight on the 28 human motives that matter most to us at work. While all motives matter, they don’t matter equally to each of us.
The assessment identifies each person’s unique motivational drivers and provides a roadmap to meet the motives that drive well-being and success for yourself, the people you work with, and those you lead.
Motives Connect™
Meaningful Motive
One-On-One Conversations
A first-of-its-kind tool for human connection, motive communication, & “stay” interviews with impact.
Because human-focused leaders don’t read minds, they ask better questions, they don’t assume, they get curious. Motives Connect helps you go beyond check-ins and “How are things going?” and into what’s really driving people. Leading conversations that are personal, purposeful, build trust, and create results.

Motive Success Stories
“Motives Met challenged us to engage in meaningful conversations about our top motives and tap into the more personal areas of our team. It’s a unique experience for both leaders and teams because it removes those boxes that we sometimes trap one another in based on titles. It helps us to understand our “why” and have work goals aligned to our why or motives.”

“It was a game-changer to have Motives Met guide us as we think about how we operate as a team, and ensuring we create a space where people feel their motives can be met. To see what motivates your employees and how that collectively looks for the entire team. Where we see connection or alignment and where we see disconnection.”

The Motives Met Assessment tool is unlike anything else I’ve seen out there whether it’s assessments you can do when you hire people, the DiSC assessment or personality styles. This is different. This is unique. My team found so much value out of the assessment and workshop, they gave me constant positive feedback.”
