Great companies often point to their culture as a primary reason for their greatness. When we examine an organisation culture, we find that it reflects the values of its leaders and members. This insight was the basis for the development of the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory.
The Inside of personality
The MVPI identifies a person core values i.e. what people want rather than what they may do in certain situations. It enables participants to gain insight into the driving forces inside them that naturally engages or creates satisfaction.
Job roles and work environments that align to these drivers are likely to generate natural success. This MVPI can significantly assist to select talent that fits the prevailing work culture as well as support job role fit. People that feel motivated and engaged are likely to be productive and effective which can impact on profitability and retention.
