Assess Your Organization and People and Recalibrate to Emerge Stronger from the Pandemic

By Michael J Griffin

Many companies, like yours, are emerging from Covid with new strategies, policies, and goals to remain competitive. Have you assessed and evaluated the climate and competence of your people and how they have changed through Covid to take on these changes? Has your company got a pulse of their engagement and skill gaps of your people to turn your “strategy to results through your people?”

ELAvate has recently worked with two global organizations to support their vision and commitment to change by assessing then growing their leaders in the post Covid world. Both organizations found that the first step in getting their people to change was to assess and gauge employee commitment and competence to positively respond to the organizational changes in vision and strategy.

ELAvate has successfully developed two world class tools to support your organization’s ability to assess and gauge employee readiness for change initiatives. Our clients found them very useful across cultures, departments and up and down the hierarchies. Let’s briefly review each of them:

ELAvate Employee Climate or Engagement Survey. This comprehensive survey is crucial for global firms to clearly gauge what the employees think and feel about the organization they work for.  It assesses employee engagement across these 17 dimensions:

• Company Values

• My Work

• Top Leadership

• Collaboration 

• Working Environment

• Ethics

• Stress

• Supervision – My Boss

• Feedback

• Planning

• Quality

• Innovation

• Diversity and Inclusivity

• Job Security

• Career Advancement

• Pay and Benefits

Our ELAvate Employee Climate/Engagement Survey produces an Organization Report and confidential Personal report on how each employee’s scores compare to the overall employee scores. Each climate survey has been tweaked and customized for our client’s specific needs. Click here for ELAvate Climate Survey Sample Report.

ELAvate 360 Degree Leadership Survey. Our clients have found the ELAvate 360 Degree Survey very useful to assess and prepare their leadership to meet the challenges of the post Covid environment by developing and promoting leaders to drive changes needed to remain successful. The first step is always to assess your leaders ability to lead and coach through change.

ELAvate has served clients since 1995 with our 360 Degree Leadership Survey. It has gone through several upgrades and customizations to meet unique client requirements. The 360 degree survey gives competence feedback across 6 Leadership Roles:

Visionary, Orienteer, Investor, Communicator, Influencer, and Leader.

Each role is assessed by 5-6 leadership behaviors/competencies.  360 Degree Leadership Surveys usually receives feedback from the individual leader/manager, 1-2 bosses, 3-5 peers and 3-5 subordinates. Occasionally clients may also include 2-5 vendor suppliers.

I have provided a short power point presentation on how to implement our ELAvate 360 Degree Leadership Survey.
