Testimonial:

Alisa Judge

Vice President, Human Resources Sequenom

"We have grown very rapidly over the past 12-18 months, primarily organically, and we had a very strong sense that our growth had impacted our culture.  A primary concern for our senior executive team was to proactively shape our culture during our high rate of growth and diversification rather than watching some issues arise un-checked.   We worked with Brainard Strategy to better understand the aspects of culture that were measure-able and action-able.  We wanted to understand our culture and it’s impact on our people, business processes, and performance.   We engaged Brainard to work with us to create a custom-izeable Organizational Survey Process.  This process was highly tailored to our org while encompassing a wholistic view of culture generally.  Brainard worked with our steering committee and our senior mgt team to ensure solid deisgn, data collection via the web and action-able reports.  We will continue to partner with Brainard well after the data has been reported to continually ewnhance our culture and business performance."

Success Story

Challenge: A global Telecommunications Firm wanted to launch their first online, customized Employee Culture/Opinion Survey. The company wanted to include all employees in nine different countries. Furthermore, the company wanted to complete the entire survey process from start (determining what to measure) to finish (data analysis and summary of results) within eight weeks. This was a very tight deadline, as a project of this size would typically take 12 to 16 weeks to complete.

Action: With the short amount of time, Brainard Strategy quickly pulled together their resources and executed quick turnover on all actionable items. From, facilitating focus groups and Subject Matter Expert interviews to developing items and creating the online survey each step was executed with precision and speed. Once data collection was completed, an in-depth data analysis by work group, department, division, and business unit was conducted.

Result: The response rate of the online survey was 90%. The survey included an open-ended question at the end, which allowed employees to give their feedback on the survey process. The response from the participants was extremely positive and they enjoyed the ease of the survey process. Furthermore, the executive team noted the quality of the data analysis and well-executed processes. After this survey process, they now have implemented the survey into the organization and use it annually.
