Employee Alignment Survey

Most companies conduct employee surveys to measure satisfaction and engagement, but research shows these surveys rarely result in improved business performance.

i4cp's unique survey approach reveals alignment gaps that represent real business opportunities. To focus employees and organizations on customers, profits and a singular strategy, i4cp's next generation of employee survey measures five interrelated categories. This approach helps companies identify and close gaps - a critical step in becoming high-performance organizations.

Our employee survey is designed to reveal answers to the workforce alignment issues that, when addressed, have the greatest impact on business performance.

Don't benchmark. Execute.

Rather than drawing broad conclusions from external benchmarks, i4cp research has shown that internal gap analysis is most influential for business change. It's more important and actionable to identify a lack of strategic cohesion between the senior executive level and the management level than benchmarking against nameless, faceless companies. The best companies use employee surveys to:

• Ask only questions employees know will be addressed
• Conduct gap analysis to identify departments or teams that aren't aligned with the company's strategy
• Develop programs that address shortfalls revealed by the survey
• Treat the results as business opportunities

Improve in the five domains of high performance™

i4cp has been helping the world's top organizations for over 40 years, and during this time we've conducted extensive research on the practices and strategies that define high-performance organizations. Our research has revealed that top companies have workforces that are aligned with the five key human capital domains that have the strongest impact on the bottom line:

1. Strategy
   To what extent is your organization's human capital aligned to the business strategy?
2. Leadership
   To what degree do your leaders communicate performance expectations, develop and promote the right people and convince employees that their behaviors are critical to success?
3. Talent
   To what extent is your HR strategy developed around your organization's business model?
4. Culture
   To what degree are your organization's values and beliefs aligned for varying levels and departments? As well,
   to what extent are existing and future leaders modeling behaviors valued by the organization?
5. Market
   To what extent do your employees understand the marketplace and customers and know how his or her job impacts business results?
