MCode improves retention, engagement, and leadership in health care
Empower nursing staff, enhance patient care, and transform workforce dynamics with a motivation-driven assessment and results that can turn any health care team into a high-performance team.
Empower your healthcare team
Healthcare organizations are under pressure to improve patient care and boost performance metrics, yet they are plagued with high turnover rates, staffing shortages, poor team dynamics, and burnout. Patient care teams, nursing managers, nurses, and administrators all feel the stress — and when it becomes too much, experienced, top performers leave.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. With Motivation Code working for your team, you can be better.
Unlike strengths-based assessments or personality assessments that tell you what someone is good at or how they behave in certain situations, the MCode assessment tells you why they do what they do and our workplace tools help you put that knowledge into action — and that’s the secret to creating a more engaged, satisfied, and effective workforce.
When you understand and leverage motivation, you can:
- Better engage your nursing staff.
- Empower your nursing managers and mentors.
- Create a positive workplace culture.
- Prevent overwhelm and burnout.
- Improve team dynamics and patient care.
From hospitals, doctors’ offices, and urgent care clinics, to medical labs and other healthcare facilities, there are five core areas where motivation works like magic…
Reducing turnover and staffing shortages
High turnover rates among healthcare workers, especially among nurses, nurse managers, and nursing assistants, create chronic staffing shortages, which strain already overworked, overwhelmed staff and increase costs associated with hiring and training new staff.
Adding a motivation-based workplace assessment like MCode to your healthcare employee engagement strategy reduces turnover.
The MCode assessment helps you understand each member of your healthcare team — how they’re wired, how they derive fulfillment from their job, and what motivates them to do their best work. And when nurses feel connected to their work and team, and find meaning and satisfaction in work that aligns with their personal values, they stay longer and work together better.
Enhancing engagement and team dynamics
Low engagement and poor team dynamics wreak havoc on healthcare teams by creating negative work environments laden with mistrust, miscommunication, and misunderstanding. This drains the energy and motivation of nursing staff, leading to subpar patient care and further dissatisfaction.
MCode helps you develop engaged employees and effective teams who are more committed, productive, and willing to go the extra mile.
When used within nursing and patient care teams, MCode Team Workshops help managers ensure every team member feels seen, valued, and supported and team members better understand each other. This improves rapport, empathy, communication, and teamwork.
Combating nurse burnout and workload stress
Clinician burnout is a major risk to healthcare organizations, and nurses facing long shifts, heavy workloads, increasing demands, misaligned motivations, and a lack of on-the-job support are especially susceptible. Nurse burnout leads to decreased productivity, high absenteeism, and a decline in patient care — and burned-out nurses are more likely to leave their jobs.
The MCode assessment prevents burnout by identifying the most energizing and fulfilling aspects of work for each clinician on your team.
Using Pulse!, managers can distribute tasks in a way that minimizes friction, improves well-being, and maximizes satisfaction. It helps ensure nurses are engaged in work that lights them up and makes them feel happy, productive, and less likely to leave.
Empowering healthcare leaders and managers
Many nurse managers are promoted for their clinical skills rather than their leadership abilities. Some are promoted to simply fill an empty role. Without proper management training and support, they will struggle to effectively manage their nursing teams and feel frustrated in their new role.
MCode equips healthcare leaders and nursing managers with actionable insights to understand their leadership style and effectively lead each member of their staff.
Motivation Code’s workplace tools give managers tools to be confident leaders and tailor their management approach to meet the needs and motivations of each nurse on their team. This creates a more supportive work environment and improves communication, which leads to deeper loyalty, greater job satisfaction, better teamwork, higher performance, and better retention rates.
Building effective nurse mentorship programs
Nurse mentoring programs promote career development, job satisfaction, and employee retention by establishing supportive relationships between experienced nurses and nurses who are advancing careers, changing nursing specialties, or beginning a nursing career. But many nurses fall victim to anemic mentorship programs with no formal guidelines for developing the mentor-mentee relationship.
When nursing mentors and mentees share their MCode results, it strengthens relationships, deepens understanding, and amplifies the impact of mentorship.
MCode gives mentors insight into how mentees view their work, what parts of their work are most motivating and fulfilling, and what they need from their job and work environment to succeed. With MCode:
- Mentors develop new leadership skills while sharing their expertise and supporting purposeful outcomes.
- Mentees receive highly personalized, deeply meaningful mentorship that helps them tackle challenges while building confidence and resilience.
- Both mentors and mentees are set up for success which increases loyalty and incentivizes them to stay.
Motivation Code helps you retain your most experienced nurses and healthcare staff so your top performers stay longer and work harder by choice.
Motivational insight changes everything
Motivation Code connects people with their purpose and natural motivational strengths and advantages. Introducing the MCode assessment and Team Workshops helps every member of your staff perform at their best and experience work at its best.
MCode provides the tools to:
- Create a positive and supportive work environment that resonates with employees’ values and reminds them why they entered the healthcare profession in the first place.
- Align job roles and tasks with motivation and purpose so employees feel deeply connected to their work and experience greater job satisfaction.
- Empower individual workers to become confident self-advocates and empathetic team members, and take charge of their motivation, engagement, and career decisions.
- Build high-performance nursing teams that work together efficiently and effectively to elevate the continuity and quality of patient care and your organization’s reputation.
Map motivation across your team
Using MCode with your team helps you unlock the full motivational potential of your workforce and drive results like elevating patient satisfaction scores, manager satisfaction scores, and retention rates.
Investing in an MCode Team Workshop begins with each member of your team completing the MCode assessment and receiving a personalized report.
All team members’ results are then combined into a team evaluation that contrasts team members and their motivations. This generates a custom Team Motivational Map and MCode team training led by a Certified MCode Executive Coach, onsite or online.
- Individuals discover what motivates them to engage, do their best, and find fulfillment in their roles, relationships, and work.
- Managers discover who they are as leaders and gain the tools and insights to confidently manage individuals and teams.
- Organizations create a thriving, engaged workforce while reducing friction and stress, preventing burnout, and increasing satisfaction.
