Every team's motivation runs on three needs: autonomy, competence, belongingness. Motiro shows which need is running dry and which leadership or environment factor to fix first.
Decades of research show that natural, lasting motivation is rooted in three basic psychological needs. Whether those needs are met depends largely on the leadership and environment around the team. This body of work is known as Self-Determination Theory (SDT).
Motiro is built around SDT. In five minutes, our team survey measures motivation, the three psychological needs that drive it, and the leadership and environment that support or frustrate them. Each measure connects to the same underlying motivation mechanism.

Autonomy is having meaningful say in how the work gets done. Belongingness is feeling cared for and connected to your team. Competence is feeling capable, effective, and growing.
Leadership measures whether managers nourish the team. Environment measures whether the work pays back what it asks.
The motivation score measures the willing energy people bring to the work, captured across six dimensions. Less about how hard people work, more about how wholeheartedly.
A loop any team can run
The team brings the conversation and the commitment. Motiro does the heavy lifting that keeps each cycle moving.
