The one-minute tour

What States of Vitality reveals, start to finish - from the eight dimensions and the scores beneath them, to where different groups experience the same workplace differently.

Runs about a minute, best with sound on.

The bigger picture

From isolated scores to the stories underneath

Organisations we work with are often already collecting data from their people.

What these numbers rarely tell you is how they connect - or the picture they add up to. A score gives you a snapshot. It rarely tells you the whole story: the shape of how your organisation is doing, and where to put your attention.

That's where States of Vitality begins.

Illustrative - the kind of numbers that rarely add up to a picture on their own.

The approach

For organisations that want more than a survey

States of Vitality brings the voices and views from across your organisation into one clear picture - where you are, and where to focus.

A true picture
A considered read across eight key dimensions - forty questions, built to measure the health of your organisation in forty unique ways. The deeper picture, not just a snapshot.
See clearly
The dashboard takes you beneath the numbers. It structures the data so you can see what sits under a single score, and what they show collectively - the things a flat number hides.
Where to focus
The clearest insight is often in the differences. Where two groups experience the same organisation in unique ways - the dashboard surfaces those, and helps you focus on the areas that matter.

Combined, it's a picture clear enough to act on - one that shows you which conditions are helping people do their best work, and which are quietly holding them back.

What we measure

Eight dimensions of organisational health

A thriving organisation doesn't come from one thing - it's built from a set of conditions, working together. States of Vitality measures eight of them. Each is a distinct part of what keeps an organisation healthy, and each shapes whether people can do their best work.

  • Strategy
    How clear your direction is: whether people understand where you're heading, why it matters and how they contribute to it.
  • Flow
    How easily work gets done: whether systems, processes and decisions help or get in the way. And whether effort and time are spent on the things that matter.
  • Service
    How you create and deliver value for the people you serve, how quickly you learn and how effectively you innovate.
  • Purpose
    What drives you and your people beyond the numbers, how connected they feel to it and whether it truly guides day-to-day choices.
  • Development
    How you grow and adapt together: whether people are learning, stretching, and building a future or feeling used up.
  • Culture
    How it feels to work here: belonging, trust, safety, recognition and energy. And whether culture shows up in what you celebrate and reward.
  • Connection
    How stories, information and meaning flow across teams, and up and down the organisation. From shared understanding to continuity of message.
  • Change
    How you adapt and evolve: whether your people meet change with confidence or with fatigue. And how comfortable you are in an ever-changing environment.

Each dimension is read across five distinct angles, crafted from 20 years of experience - so you see not just whether the condition is there, but where it holds and where it thins.

The diagnostic looks across all eight together, not as eight separate areas. Together, they're what it takes for an organisation to be healthy, and for its people to do their best work.

The dashboard

See it for yourself

This is where everything your people told you becomes something you can understand. Not a report you wait for - an interactive dashboard you explore. Two organisations can share the same average and tell completely different stories. The shape is where the story lives.

The full pictureEvery dimension scored and ranked, so the spread is clear at a glance.
Agreement and differenceWhere there is broad agreement, and where people see things very differently.
Beneath the averageLook beneath any score to see how its five questions vary.
Standout questionsThe individual questions scoring highest and lowest across the assessment.
By groupWhere different groups experience the same workplace differently.
In their own wordsRead what people wrote, in their own words.

States of Vitality takes the varied perspectives across your organisation and turns them into a story - one that builds clarity, makes the hidden visible, and helps you know where to focus.

In the differences

Helping you uncover the signals in the differences

Different groups can experience an organisation very differently. SHRM's 2024 global culture study found exactly that: 82% of executives rated their culture good or excellent - and only 47% of individual contributors did. The same organisation, seen from two very different places.

States of Vitality is designed to uncover those insights. The signals in the data that averages hide. Real value is rarely in the averages, it's in the space between them.

We've built the diagnostic to surface exactly that. It shows where your own organisation diverges - by seniority, by team, by how long people have been here - so the gaps come into view instead of being averaged away. The perception gap stops being a general truth about workplaces and becomes a specific thing you can see in yours.

Everyone participates

And it works because everyone takes part. A gap between two groups is only trustworthy if both groups had a voice - so the assessment goes to the whole organisation, not a sample.

A gap you can't see is a gap you can't close. No single position sees the whole organisation - the view from the top and the view from the front line are genuinely different - so when that difference stays hidden, the conditions holding people back stay hidden too. Seeing it is how you lead the organisation as it is, not as it looks from one perspective.

Where it fits

One diagnostic, multiple applications

Because of how States of Vitality works, it's suitable in a range of organisational situations. Often where something is about to shift, and seeing the ground clearly matters before the first move.

  • 01A change or transformation on the horizon, and the wish to see the ground clearly before the first move.
  • 02A new leader, wanting to understand what they've inherited rather than assume it.
  • 03Two organisations becoming one, with both shapes to read honestly.
  • 04An engagement score that drifts year on year while nothing underneath seems to shift.
  • 05The quiet sense that there's more in the organisation than it's showing - without a clear picture of what's holding it back.
Who it's for

We've designed it to suit organisations from around 50 to 1,500+ people, and it works across different sectors, structures and geographies.

Managed end to end

How it works

Managed end to end - we set it up, run it, and deliver the results.

  1. STEP 01

    We set it up.

    We customise the assessment for your organisation - departments, role levels, length of service, and your own customer terms - so the data reads in cuts that mean something to you.

  2. STEP 02

    Your people respond.

    The whole organisation completes a short, anonymous survey - taking around 10-15 minutes. We work with you to manage reminders and response rates.

  3. STEP 03

    You get your dashboard.

    Results arrive in an interactive dashboard - the shape, the patterns, the perception gaps, and people's own words.

  4. STEP 04

    Go further, if you want.

    Why a gap is there, and what to do about it - that's the conversation we have together.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the whole process take?

Most assessments run from setup to dashboard in around 3-4 weeks. Setup takes a day or two, the survey window is typically 2-3 weeks (to give everyone time to respond), and we publish your dashboard within a few days of closing.

Is the survey anonymous?

Yes, completely. We collect demographic information (department, role level, length of service, location) to enable group-level analysis, but individual responses are never identifiable. No names are attached to answers.

How many people need to respond for meaningful results?

We recommend a minimum response rate of around 60-70% for the overall results to feel representative. For demographic breakdowns (e.g. by department), you need enough responses in each group to make the comparison meaningful - typically 5 or more per group.

What size organisation is this designed for?

States of Vitality is designed for organisations from around 50 to 1,500+ people, and it works across different sectors, structures and geographies. If you're outside that range, get in touch - we can advise on whether it's the right fit.

Can we repeat the assessment to track progress?

Yes. Running the assessment again after 12-18 months gives you a clear picture of what has shifted. The dashboard makes it easy to compare results over time.

What if we have recently done an engagement survey?

That's fine - this isn't an engagement survey. States of Vitality measures organisational health across eight dimensions, not individual satisfaction. The two complement each other well. If anything, recent engagement data gives you useful context for reading the results.

Do you need access to our systems?

No. The survey is hosted by us and respondents access it via a simple link and access code. We do not need access to your email systems, HR platforms, or internal tools.

What happens after we receive the dashboard?

Your leadership team can explore the results at their own pace - the dashboard is designed to be self-explanatory. If you'd like guided support, we offer an optional walkthrough session to help you read the shape, understand the patterns, and plan your response.

Who sees the results?

Only the people you choose. Access is controlled through secure email-based login. You decide who in your organisation gets access to the dashboard.

How is this different from a staff engagement survey?

Engagement surveys typically ask how satisfied or motivated individuals feel. States of Vitality measures how the organisation itself is functioning - across strategy, operations, culture, change, and more. It reveals systemic patterns (like perception gaps between levels) that engagement surveys are not designed to surface. Think of it as a health check for the organisation, not a mood check for individuals.

Is our data secure and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Survey responses are stored securely and processed in accordance with UK GDPR. Responses are anonymous - no names are attached to individual answers. We collect demographic information (department, role level, length of service, location) for group-level analysis only, and groups are never small enough to identify individuals. Your data is hosted on EU-based infrastructure and is never shared with third parties. We can provide a data processing agreement on request.

Seeing your organisation clearly is where shaping it begins.
