M3+ THE ULTIMATE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE MEASURE

The M3+, builds on and extends the innovative potency of Brivia Consulting’s M3 (Most Meaningful Measure) Employee Experience Instrument. In addition to measuring the most meaningful aspects of employee work experiences that drive engagement and optimal human performance, the M3+ hones-in on the most important Meaning Domain of them all, Leadership Capacity.

The M3+ offers managers additional insight into their leadership qualities, that people experience as most meaningful and helpful. Managers are also provided their leadership-strengths and opportunities for development.

WHAT MAKES THE M3+ SO GREAT?

Meaning Drives Engagement

The true source of engagement originates from very specific items and employee experiences. It is meaning and a meaningful experience that form the most potent force, driving motivation, engagement and optimal human performance.

The M3+ is not your average employee engagement survey. It cuts through the noise, of engagement, happiness, satisfaction and all the other “stuff” we call it, to zero in on meaning, the heart of the employee experience.

Unlike most employee engagement surveys that identify by-products of meaning, the M3+ measures meaning with sharp focus on Meaning Domains and Meaning Maximizers. Meaning Domains are work-centred items identified by employees as having the most meaning. Meaning Maximizers, which are aligned with Domains, are concrete factors known to boost meaningful experiences for all employees.

Leadership Impacts Everything

No other aspect of work impacts more on an employee’s experience than the direct manager’s leadership capacity. It is impossible for managers to accurately assess their own leadership. An accurate assessment can only be accomplished by gauging the real-time perceptions of the manager’s direct reports. The M3+ offers just that, and so much more.

In addition to measuring Meaning Domains and identifying Meaning Maximizers, the M3+ offers an efficient and accurate snapshot of a manager’s leadership quality, as experienced by their people. The M3+ takes a deeper dive into the Leadership Domain with sharp focus on the 5 most important Dimensions of Leadership: Integrity, Respect, Empathy, Supportiveness and Performance.

The M3+ equips managers and their organizations with precise data on meaning-measures, leadership capacity and, offers guidance for action; to make work and the experience of work, more meaningful for individuals, teams and everyone in the organization.

Meaning Measures and Boosters

Participants are asked to identify and rate various aspects of their work-experience, where they find greatest meaning. Survey participants are also asked to identify specific factors that they believe, would boost the level of meaning and meaningful experiences while at work.

Leadership Dimensions

Employees are also encouraged to rate the degree to which their manager demonstrates 15 key-leader behaviors, representing the 5 most important Quality Leadership Dimensions of Respect, Empathy, Integrity, Supportiveness and Performance. All leadership behaviors being assessed are weighted, calculated and presented in the M3+ Leadership Domain segment of the report.

THE M3+ REPORT

Meaning Measures, Maximizers and The Leadership Domain

Once employees have completed the survey, an M3+ report is compiled and delivered to the organization’s leaders and their teams.

The M3+ report provides a thorough overview of Meaning Domain scores and a set of prioritized Meaning Maximizers, for boosting meaning and meaningful work experiences towards greater engagement and overall performance.

What makes the M3+ extra special is the information offered in The Leadership Domain segment of the report.
