More than ever, balance and happiness at work are the core worry of managers who wish to favor the fidelity of their resources and talents. Various methods and solutions are possible, but very few are applicable to everyone. The question then is: how to tailor a customized solution, for everyone, and without losing time or efficiency?
Indeed, if the thought of adapting to needs, desires and demands of all can seem a colossal task, certain psychological principles may allow a clearer point of view.
First and foremost, each person has an internal reinforcement circuit, which means that certain things will be perceived as fundamentally pleasant or unpleasant, motivating or demotivating, depending on the person at hand. These processes are led by the dopamine circuits, the neurotransmitter regulating attention, motivation and pleasure, but also the serotonin, the neurotransmitter regulating among many things the wellbeing and cognitive performance. In short… not the happiness melody, but rather the happiness hormones! Managing to stimulate this reinforcement system is ensuring to give the other a feeling of wellbeing, but also the desire to do it again! The satisfaction of a job well-done, the fun of working harmoniously as a team, the attainment of new challenges… who wouldn’t want to give this kind of joy to all their employees?
However, what will reinforce and motivate one resource will discourage another. This is where the MPO solution comes into play! Our psychometric application proposes an extremely precise definition of the individual’s overall motivational needs, specifically in a professional context. Our solution thus aims to offer an accurate comprehension of the individual’s areas of motivation in their mandate, tasks and role. This information is obtained in part thanks to a personality and communication style analysis given by a simple quiz, but its validity and reliability have been scientifically proven.
Managers armed with the MPO solution are able to pinpoint the changes to make, or the elements to maintain, to favor the happiness at work of every resource and work team. This way, the organizational preferences of each will be decoded, ensuring a state of wellbeing and the want to return to work and happily do their job!
In short, the fidelity of your employees, but also the hiring of motivated people who are confident in their new roles, must go through a solid comprehension of what will stimulate their brains, but also of their differences and particularities. Offering you this comprehension is the mission of the MPO solution… but also what makes us happy at Créacor!
