Pro’s and Cons of designing your own Climate Assessment

Organizations may want to develop their own instrument which may survey other specific issues besides organizational climate. There may be unique demographic factors, or special circumstances which lead an organization to develop their own instrument. This can be done with some in person support, or in most cases, support through remote communication. Organizations may wish to include additional forms of data gathering such as market research when designing their own climate measurement instrument. Certainly there will be a strong feeling of ownership and buy in for the unique survey developed by the organization themselves, however development time is decidedly slower. This instrument is typically administered with anonymous machine readable forms which are shipped back to Quality Values Research for scanning and analysis. Turnaround time for a complete report is typically two weeks or less.

The existing Quality Values On line Organizational Climate Survey

It can be addressed to any demographic group or department, is password accessible by respondent and by client survey administrators, generates an instant viewable report and can be configured with all of the features of any standard climate assessment and is available in English and Spanish. Data are automatically written to a comprehensive database which can be accessed for further analysis, trending etc. It is much more cost effective and time efficient to use this pre-existing validated instrument, and this one has been developed by work with hundreds of studies. A single phone call can have your climate study set up the same day, with respondents logging on as soon as they receive your email. Cost per respondent is quire reasonable and based upon the number of participants in the study. Data are archived for later years trending comparisons.
