About this template
What is this workshop?
Motivation isn't just about perks or praise — it's about understanding what conditions help each team member do their best work. This retrospective creates space for honest reflection on what's energizing and what's draining the team, so you can take concrete action to improve the working environment before people quietly disengage.
What's included
- Individual motivation rating tool
- Anonymous sharing section
- Motivation driver analysis canvas
- Commitment and action board
This is for you if…
- Managers sensing low energy or quiet disengagement on their team
- Teams going through change or organizational uncertainty
- Leaders who want to address motivation before it becomes attrition

Getting started
How to run this workshop
Duplicate the Miro board and share it with your team.
Start with individual reflection: each person rates their current motivation and adds notes on what's driving it.
Share anonymously first, then open it up for discussion.
Identify the top one or two motivation drains as a team.
Commit to one concrete change — a process, a norm, or a responsibility shift — and review it next month.
Tips for first-time facilitators
- 1
Start anonymously — names off until themes are visible. Safety enables honesty.
- 2
Don't defend or explain when someone names what's draining them. Listen first.
- 3
One committed action per session is enough. Vague commitments ('improve communication') are worse than none.
