How an individual performs at work is based on much more than just their abilities, skills and behaviours- It is the individual’s motivation and engagement that produces optimal performance and the right fit for a role. Understanding what your employees are motivated by is key bit of information to discover in the recruitment and development process.
Drives is an online questionnaire that focuses on an individual’s values and motivations at work. It is used to measure what stimulates people in their working lives. Once you understand what motivates your employees, you will know how to keep them enthusiastic, driven and effective. Drives can help create a positive culture within your organisation, help you get your people engaged and reduce the risk of high employee turnover.
Drives measures four domains of human motivation that energise and drive an individual to behave in different ways at work – Challenge, Connection, Esteem and Personal. Contained within each domain are four drives (scales); each of the 16 drives are further categorised into three indicators (sub-scales):
– Challenge– Achieving, pioneering, learning, personal growth
– Connection– Positive impact, affiliation, service, supporting
– Esteem– Authority, recognition, acquisition, professionalism
– Personal– Security, stimulation, autonomy, well-being
