Elevate employee engagement and retain top talent with Pulse!
Use motivation to create your competitive advantage.
The dangerous cost of staff disengagement
Motivation is the driving force behind employee engagement, performance, innovation, and sustainable growth. Yet, nearly 80% of employees worldwide are not engaged or are actively disengaged.
When motivation wanes, excellence becomes mediocrity, and quality standards and output plummet.
- Disengaged employees contribute fewer ideas and solutions.
- Unmotivated teams are less productive.
- Morale issues spread rapidly and affect even your strongest performers.
Most engagement initiatives ignore motivation
When it comes to motivation, most engagement initiatives fall short and fail to address the root causes of disengagement:
- Annual or quarterly surveys fail to capture evolving engagement dynamics.
- Reactive exit interviews provide insights after valuable talent has departed.
- Assignments are based on availability rather than motivational alignment.
What every organization needs to understand is that motivation fluctuates as projects evolve, responsibilities shift, and career goals develop. Without motivational measurement tools, organizations struggle to identify issues until it’s too late, impacts have already materialized, and their best people are already at risk of walking out the door.
Introducing Pulse! enterprise engagement intelligence
Pulse! stands apart from conventional employee engagement surveys by providing actionable, real-time insights into what drives your talent to bring their best selves to work every day by choice.
Our Pulse! Employee Engagement Platform taps into motivation because when employees are motivated, they’re engaged, invested, satisfied, and aligned with your organization’s mission. They feel valued, care about their impact, and are far more likely to stay and deliver their best work.
Our Pulse! employee engagement platform:
Measures individual motivation patterns across your entire organization.
Tracks engagement in real-time, allowing for proactive intervention.
Provides leaders with precise communication frameworks to optimize assignment delivery.
Scientifically matches team members to projects based on motivational fit.
Identifies employees at risk of disengagement or voluntary attrition before it’s too late.
Pulse! builds on the foundation of MCode
Pulse! is employee engagement software that leverages the power of the MCode assessment and results that reveal what naturally energizes and drives each individual.
Every employee begins with the MCode assessment, and their results — their unique ranking of 32 Motivations and spectrum of 8 Motivational Dimensions — become the foundation for all engagement analyses and communications.
Pulse! uses the comprehensive motivational data from the MCode assessment, and the regular Pulse Check responses from your employees, to measure monthly engagement and satisfaction, enabling a level of personalization that generic engagement tools simply cannot match.
If you want your teams and employees to approach every project with enthusiasm and bring their best to the table, you need to know which projects to give them and the right language to use to motivate them to go all in — and that’s exactly what Pulse! helps managers do.
A science-based approach to sustainable employee engagement
Where traditional engagement tools offer surface-level feedback, Pulse! monthly engagement surveys deliver depth through its proprietary methodology.
Strategic monthly assessment:
Team members complete brief Pulse Checks, identifying which motivations they’re utilizing for current projects and rating their satisfaction on a quantitative scale.
Net motivation score (NMS):
Our proprietary algorithm compares responses against each individual’s comprehensive MCode profile (their ranked 32 motivations) to calculate an accurate engagement indicator.
Leadership intelligence dashboard:
Executives and managers gain immediate visibility into team engagement patterns, identifying both high performers and those at risk of disengagement.
Optimal project allocation:
When assembling project teams, leaders can leverage Pulse! to identify which team members will naturally excel with specific work requirements based on their MCode profiles.
Personalized motivational language:
When making assignments, Pulse! generates customized communication guidance that resonates with each team member’s unique motivational language.
Strategic team alignment through motivational science
As management expert Jim Collins noted, organizational excellence requires “the right people in the right seats on the right bus.” Pulse! operationalizes this principle through methodology that transforms how projects are assigned and communicated.
Precision project assignment
When initiating new projects, leaders simply answer a brief series of questions about the nature of the work. Pulse! then:
- Analyzes your team members’ unique MCode motivational profiles.
- Identifies which individuals will be naturally energized by the work.
- Ranks potential team members based on motivational compatibility.
- Provides clear recommendations for optimal project staffing.
This eliminates the common pitfall of assigning projects based solely on availability or technical skill, without considering motivational fit — a primary driver of exceptional performance.
Personalized communication
Beyond selecting the right people, Pulse! also addresses workplace communication challenges. More specifically, how employees talk to their managers about their work, and how managers lead their teams and communicate assignments.
For employees, Pulse:
- Encourages ownership over engagement with suggestions for reframing less motivating projects.
- Helps them articulate how their motivations impact their productivity and performance.
- Surfaces at-risk projects and why they may feel friction with those assignments.
- Provides tailored language to help them speak with their manager about their role and assignments.
For managers, Pulse:
- Reveals net motivation scores (NMS) that indicate how employees feel about their projects and work.
- Shares advice for leading and empowering each employee based on what motivates them.
- Highlights what creates frustration and friction for each employee and what to watch out for.
- Generates customized assignment language to inspire commitment and high performance.
When you choose Pulse!…
Every employee becomes a confident self-advocate and every manager gains the rare ability to individualize their approach — a skill that less than 1% of leaders naturally possess. It eliminates the guesswork from team composition and project communication, ensuring optimal alignment between organizational needs and individual motivation drivers.

Organizations that prioritize motivation and employee engagement using our Pulse! employee engagement platform create powerful competitive advantages that drive sustainable success.
Skyrocket job satisfaction
When employees genuinely love their work, they don’t simply stay — they thrive, driving your organization forward with discretionary effort, passion, and commitment that cannot be mandated or purchased.
