Organizational Vital Signs Survey
Rapidly take the pulse of your organizationOrganizational VitalSigns™ is an easy-to-use tool for quickly measuring and improving the organizational climate. The 15-minute online survey instantly shows “VitalSigns” in the organizational culture that are blocking optimal success and key strengths to build upon.
OVS’s simplicity allows it to be administered quickly and frequently. It is versatile and flexible in that it can be used to sample an entire organization, specific units or departments or a cross section of staff. It identifies both strengths and trouble spots allowing leaders and managers to take action where it is needed and not spend time where it is not. This tool has proven its value in enhancing organization change by improving communication, and gaining buy-in, and focusing efforts.
Effective uses for the OVS:
- Random sampling of staff can provide leaders with an overall climate profile.
- Sampling of units or departments can provide detailed information on what is affecting performance
- OVS data can be used to evaluate the performance of managers and leaders.
- Pre/post surveys can measure training value.
- Improving and positive results can be used in recruitment campaigns and general marketing of the organization. e.g. “96% of the staff at our hospital say they can trust the manger they work for. Can you say that about your manager?”
- Data can be used in preparing for accreditation, licensure and obtaining Magnet status.
- Good news breeds more good news. Letting stakeholders know that the climate of the organization is strong and positive invites additional commitment, loyalty and recognition.
- It provides the mechanism and the response to the desire by staff to have input, to be heard and to be respected.
- Data that indicates that your organization has a vital and stable internal climate is good news for bond and financial managers.
