§2 - The problem

From isolated data to meaningful clarity

Most assessments measure isolated topics - engagement, satisfaction, culture. You get numbers, but not understanding.

The real insight isn't in individual scores. It's in how things connect: how purpose shapes culture, how strategy enables operations, how change flows - or doesn't - through your organisation.

§3 - Eight dimensions

Eight dimensions. One connected picture.

We examine eight areas that are critical to organisational health and the welfare of the people within it. Each dimension is assessed through five carefully designed questions - 40 in total.

  • Strategy
    How clear our direction is
  • Flow
    How easily we get work done
  • Service
    How we create and deliver value
  • Purpose
    What drives us and guides our work
  • Development
    How we grow people and build capability
  • Culture
    How it feels to work here
  • Connection
    How stories and meaning flow
  • Change
    How we adapt and evolve
§4 - What makes it different

A different kind of assessment

Everyone participates
Perspectives from across the entire organisation - every level, every function - gathered into one coherent picture. Not a sample. The whole.
Built on systems thinking
Organisations are ecosystems where everything connects. A problem in one area often has roots in another. We measure how the parts relate, not just how they score.
Know where to focus
Identifies strengths, highlights growth areas, and pinpoints the leverage points where focused effort creates the greatest ripple effect across the system.

§5 - The perception gap

Reveal what leadership can't see

The same dimension. Three different experiences.

When we measure across levels, patterns emerge that aggregate scores hide. Leadership might see confidence. The front line might experience uncertainty. The gap between them tells you something important.

§7 - You might recognise this

You might recognise this

You sense something isn't quite working, but you can't pinpoint exactly what. Individual teams perform well, yet somehow the whole feels less than the sum of its parts. Changes you've made haven't stuck the way you hoped. Or perhaps you're preparing for something significant - a transformation, a growth phase, a new strategy - and you want to truly understand what you're working with before you begin.

The States of Vitality assessment is for leaders who want to see beneath the surface. Who suspect that the real story of how their organisation works isn't captured in engagement scores or performance dashboards. Who want insight that connects the dots rather than adding more dots to connect.

§8 - Use cases

One assessment, many applications

Strategic alignment

When leadership wants to know whether direction has reached every level - not just whether it has been communicated, but whether it lands, makes sense, and shapes daily decisions across the organisation.

Is the strategy actually living in the work?

Culture change

When you are naming a culture you want to grow into, but want to know what you are starting from. Where the gap is between stated values and lived experience. What people are actually saying when leadership is not in the room.

Start the work where it actually needs to start.

Transformation planning

Before a significant transformation programme, this assessment maps the terrain - where readiness is highest, where resistance might emerge, where change has previously taken root or stalled.

Know the ground before you build on it.

Merger or acquisition

Two organisations do not just merge structures - they merge stories, rhythms, and expectations. This assessment surfaces the invisible operating norms on both sides, so integration is built on understanding rather than guesswork.

See both organisations clearly before joining them.

Leadership transition

When a new chief executive arrives - or a new senior team is forming - a baseline matters. This gives the incoming leader an honest picture of the organisation as it is now, free of legacy bias.

Begin with a true read of the room.

Post-change review

After a significant change has landed, this assessment shows what stuck and what did not. Where the change embedded well, where it faded, and where unintended consequences appeared.

Find out what the change really did.

§9 - How it works

How it works

  1. STEP 01

    We set up your assessment

    We configure your survey with your organisation structure - departments, role levels, locations. You receive a unique access code to share with your team.

  2. STEP 02

    Your people respond

    The survey takes about 20 minutes. Responses are completely anonymous. Every question uses the same simple scale: how true is this in your experience?

  3. STEP 03

    We publish your dashboard

    Once responses are in, we publish your interactive dashboard. Your leadership team gets secure access to explore the results at their own pace.

  4. STEP 04

    We help you make sense of it

    An optional guided walkthrough helps you read the shape, understand the patterns, and identify where focused attention will have the most impact.

§12 - 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 of roughly 50-500 people. Large enough to have meaningful variation across departments and levels, small enough that every voice can be heard. 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.
