Why we do what we do
Motivation as a key to growth
As an organization, you find it important that your employees get pleasure and satisfaction from their work. You want to create a positive company culture in which employees feel good and can work together smoothly. At the same time, you want them to achieve objectives and to deliver results, and you want them to be able to adapt flexibly to a constantly changing circumstances.
A people-oriented and result-oriented focus do not have to be at odds with each other, and can even go hand in hand. By fully focusing on the driving force behind both, motivation, you as an organization can make the difference every day.
Starting from a strong belief in the growth potential of every individual and every organization, Impetus Academy wants to be your partner in creating a sustainably motivating work environment. After all, your employees are the key to the progress and growth of your organization.
Based on the solid scientific foundation of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and with attention for pragmatism and tailoring in function of your specific context and needs, we unlock the driving force (impetus) in your organization.
