At Motives Met we sought out to answer the burning question, what makes a work life well-lived? Through our research we discovered that well-being and success happen when motives are met. To turn our insights into action, we created a platform with impactful tools and a no-B.S. approach to thriving at work based on the latest well-being science. It’s the gateway to a work life you want to wake up to every day, better work relationships, and a workplace that people don’t want to leave.

The Motives Met
Human Needs Assessment™
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 people’s most important motivational drivers and provides a roadmap to meet these motives that drive well-being and success for yourself, the people you work with, and those you lead.

“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.”
