Integrating Motivational Maps into daily management practices leads to improved recruitment, reduced conflict, and enhanced teamwork
"It's actually a joy to manage people now! Developing this understanding means that our whole team works together. They really understand each other stronger, they play to each other's strengths, and so the team is stronger. They perform better, not just in performance, but overall."

Background
Since 2017, A-One Insurance Group has embedded Motivational Maps within their organisational culture, recognising early the benefits of understanding individual motivational drivers. Initially adopted by team managers, the practice has evolved to include every team member, fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace environment.
Business Goal
A-One Insurance Group aimed to improve team harmony, streamline recruitment processes, and significantly reduce workplace conflicts by better understanding and supporting the individual motivations of each employee.
Approach
Motivational Maps were adopted as an ongoing, integral component of team management. Managers regularly revisit each individual's motivational profile, ensuring personalised support throughout their professional journey. The Maps also became a cornerstone of the recruitment process, providing insights into potential new hires' motivational alignment with the existing team culture, proactively addressing potential conflicts and identifying complementary strengths.
Results
The integration of Motivational Maps has led to transformative results:
Recruitment is more targeted, ensuring new hires align seamlessly with existing team dynamics.
Workplace conflicts have dramatically decreased as team members now better appreciate and respect individual differences.
Team performance and cohesion have significantly improved, with members actively playing to each other's strengths.
HR management has become notably less stressful, creating a more enjoyable working environment for managers and employees alike.
Overall, Motivational Maps have proven invaluable, fostering a supportive, cohesive, and high-performing workplace culture.
