Hi! Welcome to the new What’s New in Motivosity blog. This is where all of our product updates you’ll want to know about will live. So...make sure to bookmark this page and refer back to it whenever you want to stay updated on the latest MV news and learn more about how Motivosity is innovating!

Oh, and also, thanks for being here! We’re glad you stopped by.

To kick things off in 2024, we have some exciting new features to share. In this post, you’ll learn more about:

So let’s jump in!

Manage Goals in Motivosity—Now in beta!

All of our customers who use Motivosity’s Manager Development add-on now have early beta access to some of our new performance management features, including setting, tracking, and reporting on goals and OKRs. Yay! Here’s what that looks like:

Set and track goals that drive engagement, alignment, and accountability.

Managers and team members can now work collaboratively to set and track monthly, quarterly, or even annual goals—all right in Motivosity. Our new goals feature is specifically designed around the principles of connection that set Motivosity apart from other compliance-based performance management solutions that *cough cough* employees typically dislike—and avoid—using.

Connect on goals in every 1 on 1.

Goals are easily accessible right inside manager-employee 1 on 1. Here, the two of them can easily discuss and update goals each time they meet together and set the right short-term priorities to make sure employees are on track to achieve their goals. Motivosity keeps a history of notes and action items saved in your 1 on 1s, so you never have to worry about them being lost or forgotten.

Manage all your team’s goals in one place.

People leaders and managers can keep track of each direct report’s goals in one place—seeing the most recent updates and percent-complete statuses at a glance. Goals that are at risk will stand out so managers can easily follow up with team members to see if they need support or guidance.

Send goal reports to HR quickly and easily.

Motivosity helps you simplify goal reporting in your performance management initiatives. Managers have a high-level overview where they can easily review team goals and attainment and send a report directly to HR or other leadership with the click of a button. No more manual forms and painful processes. Pretty slick, huh?

Stay on top of company-wide performance.

Goal reports and dashboards give executives and HR real-time data about performance across the company—including how many employees have set goals, goal attainment to date, and manager-employee goal alignment. We also make it easy to break down your goal reports by department and manager so you can identify teams that might need some extra support and love.

More controls and safeguards for monetary changes

We’ve been beefing up our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) options for making financial changes in Motivosity. In addition to requiring a security password, Motivosity customers can now enable a Finance Admin Approval step in the process. Finance Admin Approval will require a second approver for any monetary changes made to giving or spending balances, cash-giving rules, Bulk awards and achievements, and bulk appreciations. You can turn this security feature on in Security Settings.

New default profile and background images

We’ve updated our default profile pictures and background images to colorful Carls to ensure all image options are as neutral as possible.

Create Achievement Awards for specific groups or job titles

You can now make Achievement or Recognition Awards available to certain groups of employees or specific job titles—in addition to departments or countries. Want to create awards only sales reps or customer support reps can achieve? Now you can! Want to give out awards based on regions? Set up your Custom User Groups for each region and then you can! The options are endless.
