Understand & Improve Workplace Appreciation
Appreciation at Work offers practical workplace engagement assessments designed to fit the realities of today’s teams. Whether you’re managing in-person, hybrid, or remote workers, we have a tool that meets you where you are.
Basic Motivating by Appreciation (MBA) Inventory
If you’re looking for a clear starting point, the Basic MBA Inventory is ideal:
It takes 10–15 minutes to complete
It helps individuals identify their primary language of appreciation
Generates a personalized report showing how they best receive encouragement
Practical action lists included—no guesswork needed
This version is perfect for smaller teams or companies wanting a low-pressure, highly practical introduction to appreciation. It’s the foundation for stronger communication and healthier relationships.
Expanded Motivating (MBA) By Appreciation Inventory
For larger teams or those wanting a deeper dive, the Expanded Motivating By Appreciation Inventory is the next step:
Includes individual reports plus group profiles, helping leaders see broader trends
Ideal for departments, leadership teams, and multi-site organizations
Available in versions for specific industries (healthcare, education, government, remote teams, and more)
Investing in this tool allows you to go beyond employee appreciation surveys that merely skim the surface. You’ll see where the gaps are—and how to bridge them. Both inventories help you confidently measure workplace appreciation levels using evidence-based HR culture evaluation tools that drive action, not just reports.
MBA Inventory Group Summary Reports
MBA Inventory Group Summary Reports can be generated for teams, departments, and even whole divisions or companies. While it is helpful for employees to learn how they like to be appreciated, it is more important for team members to learn how their colleagues want to be shown appreciation (and how they don’t want to be appreciated). Contact us to learn how to obtain these valuable reports.
Knowing how to measure workplace appreciation levels can feel overwhelming. Traditional surveys can frustrate people by giving them surface-level answers that don’t lead to real change.
At Appreciation at Work, 0ur workplace engagement assessments give you an honest, actionable view of how appreciated your team feels—and the steps you can take to create lasting trust, motivation, and connection. We believe in relationship-centered, research-based tools that help people work better together.
