For Leaders Who Want to Create Thriving Workplaces
Uncover the unique drivers of each person’s well-being and performance with The Human Needs Assessment™, and co-create a culture where teams meet the motives that fuel thriving workplaces together.
Built from the Research-Backed Framework for
Real People-First Workplaces
After years of research (and we have done a lot of it!), we discovered the 28 human motives that fuel people to stay, grow, and thrive.
A Personalized Approach to Well-Being, Connection,
& Retention that Actually Works
Leaving “One-Size-Fits-None” Behind
We can’t treat everyone the same. (And yet… most workplace efforts still do.) There’s no universal reason people burn out, connect, or leave. Personalization is lacking, it’s tough, and no one is doing it. That’s the gap Motives Met fills. We don’t help leaders lead people, we empower them to lead their people.
Teams and leaders love seeing themselves on the Motive Map. It sparks curiosity, great conversation, and a deeper understanding of the different motives that drive their team individually and collectively.
Thriving is Personal, Not Universal
Identify the Motives that Matter Most
“I was just blown away by Motives Met! 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.”
These human motives don’t matter equally to each employee or team. Each of us has a personal blend of must-have motives, nice-to-haves, and don’t-care-about-it’s that impact our happiness and success.
Our innovative research led to our modern one-of-a-kind assessment to uncover the motives that matter most to each person. Because there is no universal hierarchy of needs; it’s uncovering what each person’s unique needs hierarchy is.
This Tool Will Change the Way You Lead
“This tool will change the way you lead and how your team collaborates! It was important to give us something to consider as we think about the way we operate as a team, ensuring that we create a space where people feel their motives can be met.”
Being a leader people want to follow is hard. The Motives Met Human Needs Assessment™ gives you a tangible tool to lead with greater clarity, connection, and impact. Whether you’re managing a team of 5 or are the Head of HR shaping culture for 5,000.
