In this episode of HR, We Have a Problem Teri Zipper and guest Kelly Mackin, Co-Founder and CEO of Motives Met and author of “Work Life Well-Lived: The Motives Met Pathway to No-B.S. Well-Being at Work,” discuss her research identifying 28 psychological and emotional "motives" that drive thriving at work, revealing that only 16% of people are truly thriving in their professional lives. The conversation explores how wellbeing is highly individualized, with different needs taking priority for each person across various seasons of life.


Key points covered include:

↪️ Work-life harmony is just one of 28 motives that influence workplace wellbeing, and people are either "integrators" who blend work and personal life or "separators" who prefer clear boundaries.

↪️ Creating a thriving workplace culture requires co-creation, with leaders setting the tone but everyone taking responsibility.

↪️ 63% of people fear expressing emotions like stress or frustration at work, contributing to environments of toxic positivity.

↪️ Individuals can take control of their workplace wellbeing by identifying their top motives, developing an action plan, and asking for what they need.
