Motivational Maps
Motivational Maps are an ISO accredited online self-perception inventory that focus on motivation – the energy that drives action and ultimately, performance.
Maps enable people to understand motivation at a deeper level and shows them what they can do to improve results, increase resilience and wellbeing and achieve greater employee engagement. Most of all, they help people feel happier in their job.
Motivational Maps are unique in their simplicity, application and usefulness. By measuring emotional energy, they help overcome personal and career development issues, support managers and teams to achieve greater productivity, and strategically can turbo-charge organisational progress.
How does it work?
Motivational Maps identify the order and intensity of nine motivators and measures the extent to which these motivators are being met.
Collecting the data is easy and starts with a straightforward online questionnaire which individuals can complete in just 15 minutes.
The tool automatically analyses responses and generates clear and concise reports. This will reveal a person’s key motivators and their current level of motivation. Each report provides actionable advice on how to increase motivation where it matters. The report is extremely revealing; most individuals have very little idea about what truly motivates them.
