The Organizational Vital Signs assessment is the ideal blend of simplicity, clarity, and practicality.

OVS is a statistically reliable research process to pinpoint areas assisting and interfering with growth and bottom-line success. It is based on Six Seconds’ Vital Signs Model. Where a typical “staff satisfaction” measure tells you something about contentment, OVS shows you the drivers of performance in an actionable, practical framework.

Features:

Creates a strategy that works with and through your people.

Focuses attention on and builds buy-in for change efforts.

Quantifies the people-side of the organization.

Accurately assesses the effectiveness of development initiatives.

Identifies needs and opportunities for training, communication, and development.

Utilizing the core Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Model, the OVS works perfectly with dozens of hours of published curriculum, hundreds of resources, and numerous hands-on tools for implementing EQ.

The OVS begins with an executive summary, provides a simple yet powerful measure of employee engagement, an overall climate snapshot based on the key drivers of performance and current performance outcomes, and introduces a process-framework for action. Additionally, it breaks down the results based on role, organizational unit, or other factors.

Sample: Executive Summary

The OVS starts with a simple, clear introduction to the current climate and levels of Engagement, as well as Outcomes.

Sample: Employee Engagement Snapshot

The OVS provides a snapshot of the current levels of employee engagement. It gives a percentage of employees who are Engaged, Neutral or Disengaged.

Sample: Vital Signs Model

Then the OVS introduces the Vital Signs model, which consists of the four factors that shape climate – Motivation, Teamwork, Change and Execution – plus an overlay dimension of Trust.

Sample: Overall Climate Snapshot

Using the Vital Signs model, the OVS provides a snapshot of the organizational climate – as well as of the key performance outcomes – Retention, Productivity, Customer Focus and Future Success – that are driven by the 4 VS factors.

Sample: Critical Items and Breakdowns

Finally, the OVS finishes with detailed explanations of the Drivers ad outcomes, as well as optional breakdowns by organizational group or unit.
