Build Your Programs on Solid Research

Needs Analysis. Our needs analyses examine and create a profile of the organization's current and future requirements for staffing, resources, training, branding, and other developing needs. The process includes interviews with key staff, focus groups and scientific surveys, questionnaires and other appropriate methods. Our surveys sample the prevailing opinions, values, and morale within the organization. They are excellent tools for discovering motivational issues, and can be focused on specific areas like benefits, working conditions, communications, or diversity. 

These profiles are useful for hiring decisions, succession planning, training
 and development, and individual growth. By conducting climate surveys,
 the organization demonstrates concern for morale, quality of worklife, and staff opinion.
