6 Types of Employees

What drives people to want to work hard?

According to a recent survey I saw, most employees are best motivated via one of the following categories:

๐Ÿ”นย 22% are play-driven and respond best to things that are fun and funny

๐Ÿ”นย 20% are adrenaline-driven and like a challenge โ€” to be a disruptor

๐Ÿ”นย 19% are emotion-driven and love a good heartwarming story

๐Ÿ”นย 15% are goal-driven

๐Ÿ”นย 13% are values-driven

๐Ÿ”นย 12% are idea-driven

After years of endlessly hearing about how much ALL employees are purpose-driven, this was interesting news to me. And while no one survey of the workforce is absolutely bullet-proof, I think itโ€™s a good reminder that people are all different.

What makes one person happy at work (funny cat memes) might seem trivial to another who needs to feel driven by a challenge.

As a recruiter, my job is to match growing companies up with the professionals who will feel most motivated at in your culture at your particular company.
