Culture Map

The Marlee culture map is a revolutionary approach to studying your team's work motivations, even across offices. It delivers a groundbreaking and insightful analysis of your team's unique culture.

For too long, the word 'company culture' has been thrown around with too much vagueness to be of any use to organizations trying to optimize team dynamics.

Rather than relying on buzzwords, Marlee provides a statistical deep dive into each employee's and the team's work styles and motivations. We provide you with a detailed analysis of what drives behavior within your business, even if you have offices around the globe.

Equipped with these insights, you can make data-driven decisions around hiring, leadership teams, workflows, and team building.

We'll also make expert recommendations on how to facilitate team bonding (even for globally distributed teams with seemingly different cultures) for a positive workplace culture. We also highlight areas that are holding your team back from hitting key business goals and which coaching programs can help.

Outcomes with Marlee

• Gain a true understanding of what your workplace culture is —from individual teams, office to office, and organization-wide.
• Learn the motivations that drive employee behavior so you can build upon or change them.
• Predict and prevent conflict by addressing potential friction points ahead of time.

How It Works

It all starts with Marlee's Motivational Analysis

Our unique motivational analysis measures motivation levels across 48 distinct traits. Then we take those results and benchmark them against the local culture and your other offices.

How do your offices in Los Angeles and London stack up against their respective local working populations? And more importantly, how do they fare when compared to each other? With Marlee, you’ll find out.

Marlee has become a central component of our people growth strategy at Canva and will empower us to harness our unique culture and optimise performance as we scale the team.

More than mere statistics, Marlee contextualizes data for you. 

For example, you might find that your London office yielded a 45% higher level of motivation for Details than your LA office, while your LA office has a higher affinity for Big Picture Thinking. We'll give suggestions on how to accommodate these differences for business success.

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 strategic coaching to boost team performance

A gap in motivations might explain why your London team complains that LA moves too fast, while the LA team feels London is bogged down in details. But awareness can help each team to treasure their differences as part of a healthy culture.

When a problem needs to be looked at from every angle, London's got it. And when it’s time to move quickly, LA's the team for the job.

The best part? Marlee coaching can help smooth conflict fast.

I embarked on a coaching program to improve my leadership qualities and overcome obstacles that were holding me back.

What I got was a transformational experience that greatly improved my leadership skills and in addition, became a better parent and husband. It was an experience I will never forget.
