The Chessboard Employee Relations Climate Assessment ™

The Chessboard Employee Relations Climate Assessment™ employs a proven methodology that provides organizational leaders with actionable data surrounding employee's perceptions of those factors in the employee relations climate perceived to be "favorable" or "unfavorable" aspects of work.

The Chessboard Employee Relations Climate Assessment™ process involves one-on-one interviews and focus groups with members of your leadership team and front-line employees.

The data gathered during Assessment interviews and focus groups is analyzed and distilled into a comprehensive report detailing employee's perceptions of both the favorable and unfavorable aspects of the work environment.

From here, Chessboard consultants guide leadership teams through a series of recommendations and action plans to "fix" areas of employee concern and/or "educate" employees with facts and information that increase employee's understanding and acceptance of key leadership decisions or changes within the organization. This responsiveness to employees (i.e. fixing and teaching) increases employee engagement, has a positive impact on recruitment and retention, and reduces the organization’s internal vulnerability to union organizing.
