A Fundamental Shift in How to Motivate
Maritz Motivation Solutions believes that organizations need to rethink their approach to motivation initiatives. A fundamental shift must be made in how they view employees, customers and business partners. They must be seen as people first. And they must know who they are, what they want and how they make choices. Only then can organizations create programs that truly move people.
That’s why we’ve partnered with The Maritz Institute to create a new approach to motivation. One that is firmly grounded in behavior theory and informed by the latest human science discoveries. Together we’ve created a framework for motivation initiative design that consists of four pillars. And while each pillar serves a distinct function, when they work in unison they can create an experience that delivers benefit to both the participant and the organization.
You’d think it would be easy – offer rewards and recognition for top-notch performance, and business results will follow. Truth is, it’s just not that simple.
