Motivators Assessment FAQs
How does the Motivators Assessment tie to employee engagement?
The Motivators Assessment ties to employee engagement as it helps identify what drives and motivates individual employees. For example, some employees may be primarily motivated by recognition and achievement, while others may be driven by a sense of purpose or autonomy. Understanding these motivators allows managers to create environments that cater to employees’ intrinsic motivators, thus increasing their engagement.
Do motivators change?
Yes! Unlike our personalities and strengths, motivators can change. The Motivators Assessment measures what’s most important to you in your work right now. What’s important today may not be as important in the future. While some motivators may remain constant throughout our lives, other motivators can change frequently.
How often should I take the Motivators Assessment?
It depends. Typically, most individuals check the assessment a couple of times a year. However, as new events in our lives and jobs occur it could change our motivators more rapidly.
Do I have to be a working adult for this to apply?
No. While the Motivators Assessment was built to help working adults, many of the concepts are universal. As such, individuals who are not in the workforce will still benefit. Thousands of students and teenagers have taken the assessment and found it very confirming and insightful.
What languages is the Motivators Assessment available in?
The Motivators Assessment is currently available in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Turkish, with French, Japanese, Chinese, and Hungarian in development.
