The Organizational Assessment Survey is a research-based, standardized culture/climate survey, conducted online or by paper and pencil. Agencies can review results electronically and benchmark their results with other agencies. The OAS measures 17 dimensions of organizational climate that are critical to high performance:
Rewards/Recognition | Work Environment/Quality of Worklife |
Training/Career Development | Work and Family/Personal Life |
Innovation | Teamwork |
Customer Orientation | Job Security/Commitment to Workforce |
Leadership and Quality | Strategic Planning |
Fairness and Treatment of Others | Performance Measures |
Communication | Diversity |
Employee Involvement | Supervision |
Use of Resources |
The OAS also includes a subset of items used by Fortune 100 companies. In the last ten years, more than 50 OAS users have joined OPM's Performance America Consortium. Consortium members can benchmark their results against each other and against the best in business, using this capability to improve their performance.
With the OAS, you get these benefits:
The OAS process can be repeated to assess change and reinforce continuous improvement efforts. The result is a sharp focus on the change efforts that most effectively help agencies achieve high performance.
