People Analytics

Measure 48 distinct traits that influence how you work, communicate and make decisions—with a report that's as unique as your fingerprint.

People analytics uses human cognitive and behavioral data to shine a light on the way people think, act, and communicate at work. This has far-reaching implications for anyone leading a team.

More than 20 years ago, Marlee founder and researcher Michelle Duval began a study on the motivations of the world's top business builders and entrepreneurs. What differed between those who succeeded and those who failed? What made someone more likely to start and exit a business quickly rather than grow a business over the long-term?

Marlee takes the insights Michelle gleaned from her research, expands on them to include new roles outside of entrepreneurship, and puts them into a people analytics software tool that helps individuals, teams, and companies understand what motivates them and how to collaborate better.

Outcomes with Marlee

  • Help managers and leaders better understand, motivate, and communicate with their teams.
  • Identify and even prevent areas of team friction caused by differing work styles.
  • Make meaningful predictions about team dynamics and performance.

What people analytics can do for your team

Team Culture

Assess the overall feel of your team based on how their individual preferences intersect or diverge, and track changes over time.

Team Affinities

See where your team’s interests and motivations align, creating energy, enjoyment and “flow” within the group.

Power of Differences

Identify potential friction points and learn how to harness the power of differences on your team and channel it toward shared goals.

How It Works

Overcome unconscious bias with data.

We all have biases. These can cloud our judgment when it comes to the recruiting process, hiring, and performance management. With people analytics, you can overcome biases and make data-driven decisions.

I have personally gotten a lot from . It has really helped me understand the way I work, as well as my blind spots. It helps me work better with others, as I now understand their key drivers and strengths.

Uncover motivations, not personality.

Far from a personality test, Marlee measures motivations (also known as work traits, affinities, or preferences).

Top motivations are areas of focus that energize a person, whereas blind spots are areas that someone tends to give less attention to.

If you want to strategically increase (or decrease) a specific trait, we've even got AI and human coaches on deck to help!

Marlee has been crucial for our Baraja teams, we have a debrief for all new team formations. It gives us direction for team compositions, hiring and conflict resolutions. There are so many “’AHA” moments.

Get easy-to-understand reports.

You'll love the visualization tools that show your data at a glance and how your team stacks up.

You can also use our Benchmark Tool for talent management or to see how each team member stacks up against industry top performers. Our Power of Difference custom report is easily visualized to uncover potential issues from conflicting traits.

Marlee is an indispensable tool for any agile company's arsenal. With the revolutionary and easy to understand insights it gives, a person can see at-a-glance their own behaviors and motivations, and measure themselves against others in their own team, other companies and successful entrepreneurs. It is my most highly utilized and recommended business management tool.
