What is Measured?
The Health Check combines quantitative (rating) and qualitative (open text) questions, providing reliable, nuanced insights into your organization. At its core are six organizational health indicators and four critical HR KPIs, which together offer a 360° view of your workplace health.
The Six Organizational Health Indicators
These indicators assess key areas of your organizational environment — from overarching structures and leadership to team dynamics and individual work experience.
The framework is designed to capture insights across three interconnected levels: the macro level, which focuses on organizational structure, culture, and strategic direction; the meso level, which looks at leadership quality, team relationships, and employee well-being; and the micro level, which examines the daily work experience and individual development. This integrated perspective provides a holistic view of the factors that influence engagement, collaboration, and performance across the entire organization.
1. Organization
This dimension assesses the structural and cultural conditions that define the workplace environment. Factors that influence how employees work and feel on a daily basis. It focuses on:
-
Clarity of processes and organizational direction
-
Psychological safety and trust
-
Shared goals and aligned values
When these factors are strong, they foster engagement, commitment, and long-term success. By creating a cohesive environment where employees feel secure, aligned, and motivated.
2. Leadership
This dimension capture how employees perceive their direct managers. Including the level of support, they feel they receive and how engaged they are with their managers. A critical factor in retention and engagement. It evaluates:
-
Quality of support and accessibility of leaders
-
Ability to motivate, guide and coach
-
Overall leadership competence and team engagement
Effective leadership is a key driver of employee satisfaction and retention.
3. Employee Development
This dimension focuses on growth & compensation opportunities within the organization:
-
Clarity of career paths and advancement opportunities
-
Access to and satisfaction with development resources
-
Perceived fairness in recognition and compensation
When people feel they’re growing and being fairly rewarded, they stay longer, perform better, and engage more deeply.
4. Relationships
This dimension assesses the quality of teamwork and collaboration across the organization. Going beyond social interaction to capture how teams engage, collaborate, and support each other in their daily work:
-
Trust and collaboration within teams
-
Open, constructive communication
-
A strong sense of belonging and team cohesion
Strong relationships create a supportive work environment and enhance performance, by building a culture when employees thrive..
5. Daily Work
This dimension goes beyond day-to-day experience. It reflects how clearly individual roles are defined, whether employees' skills and strengths are being utilized, and if they feel genuinely valued in their work. Whether their work is meaningful, clear, and fulfilling. It includes:
-
Clarity of roles and responsibilities
- Aligment of work with personal of skills and strengths
- Feeling appreciated and valued
When daily work is meaningful and structured, it leads to higher satisfaction and engagement.
6. Employee Well-Being
This critical dimension captures the emotional and mental health of your workforce—vital for long-term resilience. It assesses:
-
Percieved stress and workload
-
Work-life balance
-
Overall emotional well-being
Well-being is the foundation for sustained productivity and resilience. Supporting well-being reduces burnout, drives sustainable performance, and shows employees they’re truly cared for.
The Four Core HR KPIs
These key performance indicators measure the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral connection employees have with your organization. Each is directly linked to overall organizational health and plays a vital role in predicting outcomes like retention, productivity, and performance.
1. Engagement
Engagement captures how invested employees are in their work. It includes:
- Physical engagement - energy and effort put in daily tasks
- Cognitive engagement - focus and attention to detail
- Emotional engagement – including pride, enthusiasm and passion
High engagement leads to greater performance, innovation, and retention. It’s one of the most reliable indicators of a thriving workforce.
2. Organizational Commitment
This refers to the emotional bond employees feel toward the company:
-
Loyalty to the organization
-
Strong identification with company values and mission
-
Willingness to go the extra mile
Organizational commitment is a key driver of cultural strength and employee advocacy—especially in challenging times.
3. Intention to Stay
This KPI capture the likelihood of employees staying long-term:
-
Satisfaction with the workplace and leadership
-
Perceived opportunities for growth
-
Confidence in the company’s future direction
A high intention to stay helps reduce costly turnover and provides the stability and continuity needed for long-term success.
4. Stress Management
This KPI reflects how well your organization supports emotional and mental resilience:
-
Employee perception of workload balance
-
Access to organizational support mechanisms and resources
-
Cultural attitudes toward balance and mental health
Effective stress management lowers the risk of burnout, improves morale, and sustains performance over time.
These four KPIs are not only leading indicators of workforce health—they’re also the foundation for data-driven HR strategies that deliver real business value.
