OUR RESEARCH &
NO B.S. APPROACH
Motives Met started with a single question…
WHAT IS WORK WELL-BEING?
Turns out the world didn’t know.
A REFRESHING SOLUTION THAT CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL NORMS OF WELL-BEING AT WORK
We are NOT going to tell you that we have “THE ANSWER” to achieving your optimal work life or workplace because there is no one right answer or magic formula. There is a lot of noise out there that tells you purpose, fairness, or belonging is the answer. There is research that shows employees leave their company because of a bad boss, but other research shows it’s because of a lack of growth opportunities or flexibility. Some experts will tell you it’s about work-life balance, appreciation, or security.
There is an overwhelming amount of information that’s contradictory. Our solution is void of the B.S. of false promises of easy fixes, band-aid cover-ups, and one-size-fits-all answers. What we do have for you is a path to co-creating your best work culture based on our extensive research, specific steps you can take with the tools we provide that will get you to where you want to go.
How We Got Here
What we have been doing hasn’t been working, how do we know? Things like stress, burnout, loneliness, and unhappiness at work are at all time highs, while mental health, wellbeing and engagement are low. Not to mention the millions of people leaving their jobs at a historic rate during The Great Resignation just might be another clue.
Thankfully wellbeing has taken center stage in the world and that includes being well at work. There is more wellness tech, mental health programs, books on creating happy teams and podcasts dedicated to how to be fulfilled at work than ever before. Yet with a greater need for solutions and better intentions why are we falling short? We sought out to undertand what we get wrong about wellbeing so we could get it right.
