Stop the BS and Thrive at Work with Kelly Mackin

There is no magic formula for creating a happy and engaged workforce. 

Every employee has unique needs and values, and understanding those differences is the key to building thriving teams. 

Kelly Mackin, CEO of Motives Met, explains why a one-size-fits-all approach to engagement doesn’t work. Her firsthand experience in a toxic work environment inspired her to develop a framework for understanding the 28 human motives that drive well-being. By uncovering what matters most to each individual, both leaders and team members can co-create a healthy culture where everyone feels seen and supported. Kelly also shares how leaders can begin taking small but meaningful steps to create a more personalized approach to work-life harmony.
