How we work
From a questionnaire to a signed-off action plan
We take you through the whole process - from measurement to implementation.
- 01
We measure
A validated questionnaire reaches your employees - ten minutes, one personal link each, and answers can never be traced to a name.
- 02
We explain
More than 10 validated models show what affects motivation, engagement and retention, and how.
- 03
We price it
Turnover, replacement, lost productivity, absence and presenteeism, converted into one annual cost figure.
- 04
We simulate
We simulate how results change when the causes behind your current motivational climate change.
- 05
We plan
You get a written report and a phased action plan, with the rationale, the steps, the expected outcome and the risk of not acting.
- 06
We implement
Each initiative can be assigned to one of your employees or carried out with the support of our team of consultants.
- 07
We measure again
Six months on, the trend line tells you whether any of it worked.

From our own data
What drives people in companies your size
Years of measurement in organisations of every size reveal general patterns.
Micro & startups
Autonomy
When people have too little freedom to make decisions or organise their own work, motivation and engagement fall while burnout and turnover climb.
Small businesses
Leadership
Retention here is not bought with compensation - it is earned by managers. People who feel supported by their manager engage more and stay longer.
Medium-sized businesses
Career growth
People stay when they can see themselves developing. Back that with real autonomy and stop micromanaging, and you get their best work too.
Large organisations
Colleagues
Interpersonal bonds and team connection do the heavy lifting. Motivation comes from being part of a group people want to belong to.
In their words
What clients say
“Of everything we looked at, the software the Motiva Metrics team built came closest to what we actually needed. It found the critical points, compared them, explained them, and gave us concrete proposals for improvement. The questions and answers were designed with the care and knowledge of leading experts in organisational and work psychology, and the questionnaire takes very little time - which matters in a business where you bill your best hours. It shows results for the whole group as well as by department and seniority, it is clear and readable, and it follows how the company develops across measurement cycles. As a business psychologist by training who now leads a team of brokers, I believe my education and my profession both qualify me to express professional respect for this project, and my faith in it.”
“Running the assessment through Motiva Metrics gave me a clear picture of where the company actually stands. The results are readable and useful, and the process was simple and professional. I now have a much better view of motivation, job satisfaction and how people see our processes and roles. Based on the results, it is far easier to build a development strategy and plan additional benefits. I would also stress how useful it is that the results can be read by category, which makes it possible to react in time and deal with acute problems. Every category comes with proposals for what to do next, which is extremely useful. On top of all that, advisory support is offered for putting the proposals into practice, which I will certainly use.”
