Evaluate Your Most Significant Assets


Many organisations say that their most significant asset is their people yet make the mistake of under-investing in and under-valuing that asset.

Employees are a tremendous source of information on how to improve the organisation. Rather than simply a ‘temperature-taking’ process, the employee surveys we administer are used to identify areas of needed improvement that have a high impact on organisational performance.

Custom Surveys 
 While a traditional ‘opinion’ survey can be helpful, our more strategic approach to surveys can provide organisations and leaders with: 
  • Measurement of the effectiveness of critical business processes
  • Valuable information for managers to help them guide the organisation.
  • A focus for change on issues that can provide the organisation with significant competitive advantage.
  • Ideas to help achieve a better client focus.
  • Feedback on behaviours that support critical business practices.


Our Guiding Principles We believe that certain values should guide organisational survey projects, namely:
  • Survey measures must be linked to the business strategy.
  • Surveys require management ownership and extensive employee involvement.
  • Surveys need solid quantitative and qualitative databases.
  • Survey results need to lead to action steps within the organisation.
  • Survey results need to be shared with employees.



What will I get? When you use us for your staff audits we’ll focus on:
  • Giving you top-level commitment to the survey process and implementation of change.
  • Your business's strategic needs and business improvement.
  • Critical business issues rather than just 'happiness'.
  • Communicating to employees the purpose, process and commitment to improvement.
  • Planning and preparation for lawless administration.
  • Analysis on areas of high impact.
  • Reporting your survey findings through all levels of the organisation.
  • Facilitation of action planning to ensure accountability for change.



Some Examples of Our Clients’ Success   
  • One south coast firm used DAW to audit their 167 people to uncover why staff turnover was so high – we found fifteen reasons – plenty to correct to save the hidden cost of missing staff and the direct cost of recruiting replacements! 
  • Another multinational 'blue-chip' used DAW to discover why their marketing strategy was slow to build the expected results - we discovered that 80% of staff had no idea what the rest of the company produced and was trying to achieve a clear case for better internal marketing!
  • A modest firm with 47 employees discovered it had five 'internal teams' that didn't pull together.  We brought about signification realignment.
  • A public sector organisation used an on-line 360°  feedback process for 170 of its key managers where we helped facilitate individual personal development through one-to-one coaching.
