Organizational Assessment – The measurement of the key drivers of Company performance.

Organizational Assessment Survey Case Study

A household name Retailer, known for its penchant for mergers and acquisitions, was about to double its size with its latest objective. Before doing so, however, management thought it a good idea to assess the climate and culture of the target organization through an employee survey. As NBRI had routinely conducted the Client’s employee research after acquisitions were made, the Client again turned to NBRI to gather this critical information through an employee survey prior to finalizing the purchase.

An NBRI Organizational Assessment, recognized as a Best in Class Research Instrument, was deployed to the target population. Employee Commitment was found to be at Threat Level (below the 25th percentile of the NBRI Normative Database), and it would have been assumed that the finding was due to a lack of job security because of the impending sale. However, the NBRI Root Cause Analysis identified the real problem: the employees believed that members of management routinely behaved in an unethical manner, which had been demoralizing a majority of the employee population long before discussions about a sale had even begun. While perceptions of unethical behavior were also found to drive turnover and a host of other ills, all had been attributed to the impending sale.

Empowered by the hard data collected from employee surveys, the Client put several safeguards into place in their negotiations, ultimately completing the purchase but at a substantially reduced price, saving millions of dollars. In addition, per NBRI recommendations, Values Statements were put into place and into action immediately, which directly and positively impacted employee commitment, reduced turnover and absenteeism, and significantly increased productivity and profitability in the new venture.

Managing Teamwork – Teamwork is an important factor to manage well. The trick is to realize that coaching may not be enough. You need to manage the factors in the workplace that influence teamwork. Once you manage those factors, you may see team building exercises become more effective and last longer. However, each organization is different. For your specific organization, identify these environmental factors through an organizational assessment.

Employer of Choice – Managing Coworker Relationships – Managing coworker relationships can be challenging. Unfortunately, people don’t come with instruction manuals. Even in the best of environments, it can be hard to get people to talk about their problems in a constructive way. The best method seems to be to create a workplace that promotes positive human relationships so that you encounter as few problems as possible. Organizational assessment surveys can improve co-worker relationships by discovering which issues are a problem, where they are a problem, and if there are underlying causes to consider. Create a competitive advantage by efficiently managing the factors in your organization that affect overall profitability.
