Retaining top talent is about rewarding people based on their individual needs and wants. Equally important is that your people should be doing work that they find meaningful and enriching inasmuch as possible. We
measure one's intrinsic motivators with the CDR Drivers & Rewards Assessment. If you were to take this, the
results would reveal:
Ø what
really motivates you to excel,
Ø those
aspects of your work or career that provide you with a sense of enrichment and
accomplishment,
Ø the
type of environment in which you will best perform (as well as describing those
that would make you uneasy),
Ø the
types and quantities of people you enjoy working with,
Ø how
you want to be rewarded,
Ø what
level and kind of feedback and recognition is important to you,
Ø the
beliefs and philosophies you try to live by; and
Ø the
types of activities that you should involve yourself in to stay satisfied with
your work and life.
The CDR Drivers &
Rewards Assessment defines and measures ten primary personal motivators (with 50 sub-facets) and
provides important information about job function and work environment fit. Drivers & Rewards scales measure degree
of need for or interest in:
·
Fame & Feedback
·
Power & Competition
·
Amusement & Hedonism
·
Humanitarian Efforts
·
Companionship &
Affiliation
·
Moral Platform
·
Safety & Security
·
Business & Finance
·
Artistic Endeavors
·
Scientific Reasoning
With this data in hand, we help leaders identify “tactics”
to honor and reward their people in the ways that will correspond with their
individual driver and reward needs. In
this way, people are enriched, fulfilled and more productive. When individual motivators are ignored or not
reinforced, that is when retention and lackluster performance occurs. Also, if a leader tries to reward the wrong Drivers,
this can backfire. For example, if
someone has very low Fame & Feedback, and you bring them center stage in
front of many people, they will be mortified.
The Drivers & Reward facets are the key levers to retention and
fulfillment.
This assessment is part of our CDR 3-D Suite and can be purchased as a stand alone. It is a great tool to use for group/classroom debriefs and activities. For more info or to request a sample report, go to: cdrinfo@cdrassessmentgroup.com
