Introduction to Workplace Assessments

Facilitator: Dr. Betty Pries

When organizations experience stress or tough questions, many engage in an assessment to better understand the concerns in the group and to design appropriate intervention to support organizational change. Introduction to Workplace Assessments explores the diversity of dynamics that causes workplaces (and other groups) to seek out an assessment and considers multiple strategies consultants can use to effectively hear the perspectives of those experiencing challenges. The workshop gives special consideration to how size, organizational culture, and the nature of the concerns within the group impact consultants’ choices regarding how to structure and engage the assessment process, ensuring that parties feel heard and strengthening the ability of consultants to develop appropriate intervention recommendations. This workshop is designed to take place in concert with Part II: Writing Workplace Assessment Reports.
