Assess

Through the use of tailored questions and results, the organisational assessment helps you to identify the strengths and areas for development within your organisation.

The assessment is split into 12 themes. You can complete the full assessment and answer all of the questions, or you can complete just the themes that are relevant to your organisation.

Ask other members of your organisation to join and complete the assessment to see a combined range of views.
