The Meaningful Work Inventory®

Ask what really matters to employees...as people.


The Meaningful Work Inventory® (MWI) is a comprehensive employee survey of the most critical workplace factors known to organizational science.

It includes meaningful work factors, which are emerging as some of the strongest drivers of employee attitudes and behaviour. It also includes the original employee engagement - the way it was first conceived, and now nearly forgotten.

With over 40 dimensions in approximately 15 minutes, it's everything you could want from an employee survey, plus more of what you need.

Engagement, effort, commitment and performance are important, but these are outputs. They don’t happen unless people view their work as personally meaningful.
