How Our Assessment Works
Understand what motivates your workforce and how to activate that knowledge.





Participants first rate a series of situations or conditions, deciding how each would affect their motivation to work.

SHL then uses the learnings gained from this motivation questionnaire to scientifically pair the candidate with a specific profile, based on our industry-leading experience and your specific hiring or development requirements.

Our candidate or employee’s motivation assessment scores are then delivered to your teams, directly integrated within your SHL talent acquisition or management solution.

SHL’s Motivational Questionnaire solution provides specific insights that facilitate the best talent decisions, driving new levels of business success.
Maximize talent potential with MQ’s motivation assessment.
The Motivation Questionnaire is available on the SHL platform and powers both SHL Talent Acquisition and Talent Management solutions. Discover how we can transform your talent decisions today.
