ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT & IMPROVEMENT PROCESS

Kane & Associates' Organizational Assessment & Improvement Process provides you with:

• the means for gaining insight into the strengths and liabilities of internal factors in your company
  
  

• the methodology for using that knowledge to make significant improvements in these areas.
  

The Organizational Assessment & Improvement Process combines feedback from employees at all levels regarding issues of importance to the organization with the observations and knowledge of experts. This feedback, coupled with comprehensive analysis by a qualified consultant, and a detailed, fully documented implementation plan, constitutes a process which can facilitate positive change and be a major force in a company's performance.

Possible applications:

• An overall management audit customized to your organization's needs.
  
  
• An assessment of training needs - technical or management/supervisory. This can include input from your performance appraisal process.
  
  
• An opportunity to solicit input from all employees on specific technical or organizational issues of particular interest to you.
  
  
• Gathering data before or after a merger or acquisition or when new management has come into place for any reason.
  
  
• Any of the above, and other areas you desire, can be reported by the following variables:
  1. Age range
  2. Sex
  3. Race
  4. Shift
  5. Location
  6. Salary Type
  7. Years of experience in your industry
  8. Education
  9. Pay Grade
  10. Job Category
  11. Time in current position
  12. Length of service in your organization
  13. Organization level - for example, executive, middle manager, lower management, employee (non-supervisory)

In other organizations, the ability to look at the data in these different ways has been extremely helpful to the clients. The Process emphasizes follow-up and includes structure and instructions to facilitate that, as well as hands-on assistance.

BENEFITS OF KANE & ASSOCIATES' ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT & IMPROVEMENT PROCESS

1. Impacts the bottom line and promotes the competitive edge by pinpointing employee attitudes, company climate, and organizational issues or systems that are roadblocks to company performance. Areas of strength can be reinforced to build or maintain a strong, healthy organization.

2. Provides an early warning system to detect areas needing improvement so that your company can "tune-up" its organizational vehicle to meet today's competitive productivity demands.

3. Produces real and lasting bottom-line impact by specifying if any improvements are needed in organizational systems for planning, communication, and performance management.

4. Produces optimum results for the total company, each division, depart, sub-department and supervisor through concrete, results-oriented follow-up based on specific needs.

5. Establishes a benchmark against which the organization can measure itself at intervals.

6. Strengthens relationships and roles/responsibilities both within and between departments. Identifies inter- and intra-department conflicts.

7. Focuses attention on the top priority areas that need to be addressed so as to make optimal use of available resources to address those areas.

8. Assesses attitudes within the company so that top management gains accurate knowledge of the organizational climate, as perceived by the company's greatest resource - its people.

9. Serves as an important tool in resolving employee-related concerns by demonstrating that the company values employees' thoughts and opinions, by committing to action based on such information, and determining follow-up needed to produce the desired result.

10. Identifies whether work teams are functioning smoothly and effectively. This relates to all levels of work teams. Strengthens management teams through the implementation of the follow-up process.

11. Assists in devising human resource programs or management attention targeted at meeting the needs of specific groups of employees. For example, results of the Process may point to the need for specific attention to employees of a certain age, those at a particular management level, or shift, etc.
