       The Quality of Motivation Management Survey
     Version 380390a: QMMS: Personal © 1989..2004

Thank you for your interest in our Quality of Motivation Management Survey (© 2004). This instrument is designed to measure the motivational impact your company policies have upon your employees. The results are graphically presented and enable you to discuss with a QM Systems representative which policies have the desired impact and how to modify those that do not. You can compare your company with the QMQs of your employee’s for even more quantitative measures.  Feel free to contact us with any questions at qmtheory@qmqsi.com.
