High-performance organizations develop strong leaders, tenacious teams, and resilient employees

Your organization is at its best when your leaders, teams, and employees are at their best — collectively, efficiently pursuing meaningful objectives that advance your boldest business goals.

Optimize your workforce and Win

Organizational success relies on your most critical resource — your talent. Companies that engage, motivate, and empower their employees have a distinct competitive advantage, and those that do so while creating a burnout-resistant culture create happier, healthier workplaces and build unstoppable momentum.

Motivation Code helps you unleash the power of your people and make coming to work a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

Greater self-awareness and empathy

Healthy competition that raises the bar
Accelerated learning and upskilling

Improve Talent Acquisition

Recruit the right talent for open positions

Recruiting and hiring based on candidates’ strengths and weaknesses is risky. It ignores the fact that employees can use their skills and strengths in their jobs and still feel unhappy and unfulfilled.

Selecting hires based on their resumes is an outdated practice. Anyone can craft a resume that makes even the most mediocre accomplishments look like amazing wins. Plus, resumes represent what candidates have done, not what they are capable of doing.

Adding the Motivation Code assessment to your hiring process changes the game.

Its motivational insights supplement the information gained from traditional skill-based and strength-based assessments and the details candidates share in their resumes. Discovering a potential hire’s MCode helps you better understand who they are, how they work, what drives them, and what they need to succeed.

With Motivation Code, organizations can:

Identify motivational gaps in their teams and prioritize specific areas to fill.

Define the motivations for open positions and write more compelling job descriptions.

Understand the unique value each candidate can contribute to the organization.

Host more meaningful and strategic interviews and hiring conversations.

Determine job fit more quickly and match ideal candidates to the right roles.

Improve Talent Development

Nurture high performers and build high-performing teams

Your people are your largest investment and with the right personal growth and professional development opportunities, they can also be the competitive advantage that skyrockets your organization’s success.

But that doesn’t happen by chance, and you can’t nurture consistent high performance in your most valuable employees if you don’t know what drives them to perform at that level.

To develop a high-performance culture, organizations must equip and empower their leaders to become better leaders and give them the tools they need to get the best from every member of their team — tools like the Motivation Code assessment and team experience.

Motivation Code gives organizations the ability to:

See what employees find energizing or draining, interesting or boring, and fulfilling or frustrating — and use that insight to drive peak performance.

Help leaders learn to individualize their management and shape assignments to perfectly fit employees and their preferred work styles.

Identify high potentials and hidden assets — employees who show promise but haven’t had an opportunity to demonstrate their full potential.

Build high-performing teams you can depend on to move fast, communicate well, collaborate effectively, and make the impossible possible.

Create personalized talent development plans that motivate employees to persevere and relentlessly pursue their goals.

Improve Talent Retention

Build fierce loyalty and retain your best people

Insights from the Motivation Code assessment provide organizations the tools their leaders and teams need to better understand themselves, each other, and their teams as a whole.

When companies understand employees on an individual level and know what makes them tick — what motivates them to work hard, run fast, and chase even the most ambitious goals — everyone wins.

Employees feel seen, understood, supported, and valued. They know their work matters, they consistently perform at their best, and they contribute specific value to their team and the broader organization. They are productive, happy, challenged just enough to remain interested and engaged, connected to their teams, satisfied in their roles, and fulfilled by their work. When this happens, organizations see increased productivity and accelerated results.

Individual and team MCode insights help organizations:

Establish a high-performance culture and unleash the full potential of every employee.

Create the ideal work environments for high performers and high potentials to ensure they thrive.

Forge such fierce loyalty that their best people wouldn’t entertain a job offer or dream of leaving.

Develop strong, confident, inspiring leaders who drive extraordinary outcomes.

Build strong, connected teams that support each other and accelerate efficiency.

MCode stories

“MCode is different. It’s not your standard personality test. It didn’t try to tell me who I am, but rather what motivates me most to do my best work. It said I’m an Orchestrator. I like to look at the bigger picture and bring seemingly disconnected things together to accomplish something more. And it nailed it more than I even realized at first.

The six months since discovering my motivation have been absolutely transformational. I went from skeptic, to seeing it everywhere and realizing the value, to planning my life and my work around it.”

Aaron Campbell

Director of Product, A2 Hosting

“Going through the MCode discovery process was incredible. Slowing down to learn more about what motivates me has been hugely helpful in every facet of my work and personal life.

Discovering my Driver strength and putting a name to my motivation to get things done and move forward has been great. I’d encourage every team in any industry to get the benefits of this fantastic tool.”

Jeremy Moore

Managing Director, Not for Profit Institutional Banking

“To say that I was a little confused about MCode is an understatement. Then, I reluctantly took the assessment and talk about having my mind blown. The resulting report was much more than I expected.

It turns out that I’m an Orchestrator, and even though I couldn’t see it right away, the more I looked at myself from a different perspective the more it made sense. I realize that I thrive in situations where I’m able to bring together the right group of people to tackle a challenge. Looking at every situation from an Orchestrator point of view has increased our productivity and made my team a more cohesive unit.”

Make your people your Competitive Advantage with Motivation Code

The Motivation Code assessment isn’t your standard behavioral assessment. It is a powerful framework for understanding how your employees are wired for success. It reveals their innate motivations — the why behind their thoughts, feelings, decisions, and actions — and how they are best suited to contribute maximum value.

And here’s the thing…

Motivation Code isn’t new. Our revolutionary, story-based assessment was first developed more than 60 years ago.

It’s powered by science, behavioral research, and decades of study on motivation and high performance — and for many years, it was only facilitated through personal 1:1 interviews. Recruiters, headhunters, executive coaches, and leadership consultants used the assessment to help leaders step into their full potential and organizations recruit, develop, and retain extraordinary talent.

But let’s face it…

1:1 interviews are in no way scalable and you deserve access to this “scary accurate” assessment too! So we added technology to make Motivation Code available to organizations and teams of all sizes, worldwide — and we’re still innovating today.

Drive transformational change through the lens of Motivation in three steps

When your organization introduces Motivation Code through a Self-Paced Team Workshop, a Virtual Team Half-Day, or an Enterprise Team Onsite, every individual who discovers their MCode is empowered to show up at their best and do their best work, and teams go farther and achieve more than ever before!

Here’s how the assessment experience works…

Step One

Every member of your team takes the Motivation Code assessment to discover their MCodes and gain insight into who they are, what drives them, and how they best contribute value.

Step Two

Their results are combined and articulated in a customized Team Motivational Map — a visual chart that shows you exactly how motivation plays out in your team dynamics.

Step Three

You and your team learn how to apply your unique results through a customized motivational training experience that delivers unparalleled clarity and a few laughs too.
