The Meaningful Work Inventory®
The MWI was developed over 7 years using psychometric best practices. This means that peaks and valleys in your data are real, rather than flukes of poor measurement. The MWI predicts key outcomes more strongly than other surveys. This all translates to more accurate goals for change.
The MWI taps only evidence-based drivers that move the meter on employee outcomes. No fads, hearsay, nor folk wisdom. For every 10% increase on the MWI, expect an almost 9% increase in employee satisfaction, commitment and stay intentions.
Go beyond ‘tabs’ and percentages to get the why, not just the what. The MWI taps driver-outcome linkages, allowing you to mathematically diagnose issues. Advanced analytics and data mining can uncover hidden drivers, employee risk groups, and a handful of things to prioritize actions.
Why meaningful work? Meaningful work factors are among the strongest drivers of employee satisfaction, commitment and retention. It’s also healthy work, preventing costly stress, burnout and depression. It’s a fact – people who see meaning in their lives and work are healthier and less absent.
Polls also suggests that North Americans may be withdrawing from work as a meaningful life pursuit. Job satisfaction and work ethic levels have been slipping for decades. As a result, meaningful work has become the employer competitive advantage of the future.
