6 Criteria for Productive Work

Live & free For Teams

Find out how your team is really doing. The 6 Criteria reveal whether people have what they need to do productive, self-managing work. Run a quick assessment, discuss the results together, and agree on actions.

How it works

  1. 01

    Everyone rates

    Each team member individually scores their experience across the six criteria, no group consensus, no peer pressure.

  2. 02

    The picture emerges

    Results aggregate into a clear workgroup view, showing where the design supports or suppresses productive conditions.

  3. 03

    Structured debrief

    A facilitated conversation uses the aggregate to open a structural diagnosis, not a blame session, a design conversation.

Works best with a workgroup of 4–20. Allow 20–30 minutes for the survey and debrief.

Provenance

Based on forty years of research by Fred and Merrelyn Emery, the Six Criteria are the psychological factors that determine whether work is motivating or draining.

If you don't get these criteria right, there will not be the human interest to see the job through.
