It started with a vision to make leadership easier
Motivati was founded on a simple belief: when done well, 1:1 meetings can be one of the most valuable tools a leader has.

What drives us

We want to create workplaces where people are seen, heard and supported. That’s why we combine research, technology and practical methods to strengthen the relationship between employees and leaders.

People first

Good leadership starts with meaningful conversations. They help leaders understand, support and develop both their employees and their organisation. That’s why we created Motivati.

Built on solid research

The Motivati method is based on leading theories of motivation and has been validated through a study.

Turning insights into action

Insight only creates value when it leads to action. We make it easier to turn reflection and conversations into concrete actions and consistent follow-up.

Easy to use

We develop solutions that are easy to implement and make everyday leadership easier – without unnecessary complexity or time-consuming processes.

Research

Built on research. Proven in practice.

Motivati is based on leading theories of motivation. We have used this research to develop a standardised method for preparing for 1:1 meetings, designed to work across roles and organisations.
‍
To test the method in practice, BI Norwegian Business School conducted an extensive study. The results show that using Motivati leads to significantly better outcomes than traditional approaches in several key areas. Read more here.

The Motivation analysis as preparation for 1:1 meetings

Before a 1:1 meeting, the employee completes a survey that results in the Motivation analysis. The insights provide a starting point for a more relevant and meaningful conversation between the employee and their leader.

“Among other things, we found that participants in the Motivati group experienced significantly more recognition for the positive contributions they make at work – something we know is very important for motivation, work engagement and learning.”
