Organizational Assessments

To contract only for today's organizational issues is poor planning. Change and unforeseen challenges are most effectively addressed by a research and consulting firm with a record of adapting quickly, flexibly, and creatively to sudden needs.

 

PRODUCTS - Customized Organizational Assessments

  • Board of Directors - measure effectiveness and maintain assurance of accountability
  • Climate- evaluate current or anticipated issues for prevention and quick intervention
  • Cultural Alignment - organize fractionated, inconsistent policies, procedures, and products to reflect the mission, vision, values, and strategic plan
  • Cultural Due Diligence - for pre-merger anticipation of the challenges and strengths associated with combining organizations
  • Cultural Integration - alignment to close post-merger cultural gaps
  • Diversity - assess successes and challenges with a diverse workforce
  • Employee Satisfaction - measure strengths and development opportunities that impact morale, quality of work life, and productivity
  • Keepers-and-Leavers - selection, retention, re-recruitment, and risk management
  • Stakeholder - reassess strategic plan based on input from those who are impacted by top decision makers

 

PROCESSES - Flexible, Adaptable, Culture-Specific

  • Achieve high participation rates. Undeniably accurate reporting of results.
  • Correlation. Compare various research results (performance reviews, exit interviews, stay interviews, employee satisfaction assessments, etc.) for validation and value-added learning.
  • Historical Data. Look at trends that serve as a baseline for measuring change and establishing organizational norms.
  • Language of the Organization. Use of colloquialisms, acronyms, jargon, or foreign languages clearly communicate questions to produce high-quality responses and reports.
  • Reporting Procedures. Results are reported organization-wide with recommended interventions, ownership assignments, and timelines for the follow-up assessment.
  • Respondent Training. Addresses fear of reprisal by ensuring anonymity; addresses apathy by partnering management and the organization for positive change.
  • Time-Sensitive Design. Fast and efficient where trust exists; inclusive for optimal buy-in.
