Understanding and addressing the issues that are most important to your employees is essential for fostering a healthy work environment – one that promotes motivation, performance and professional achievement.

Employees are often the source of the most important information leaders need to run successful, effective organizations. Our goal is to help you to capture the insight and day-to-day experience of your employees to identify the obstacles that diminish your organizational effectiveness and pinpoint opportunities for improvement.

Our best-in-class workplace diagnostic tools have helped hundreds of organizations make measurable operational improvements through a process that identifies and ranks issues affecting employee performance, morale and productivity and provides a comprehensive portrait of a workplace from the frontlines up.

These tools enable you to assess your work environment and identify issues that limit optimal performance. Our Issue Identification and Improvement tool – I³© – targets the roadblocks that employees confront in the workplace. We help you use these results to develop solutions that improve performance and increase employee job satisfaction and retention.

Unlike typical survey methodologies that simply rank responders’ comments on a scale, IRI's employee surveys and focus group sessions are designed to identify not only issues that drive employee satisfaction, but also pinpoint why those issues have surfaced and how they affect employee morale and productivity.

Our survey tools include:

• The Decision Tree – a hierarchal view of issues and sub-issues on the minds of employees and managers
• The Issue Identification and Improvement ("I³") – Pronounced "I Cube", this leading-edge process helps verify and validate what employees think, feel and say – in their own words – about the organization, their jobs, their managers and their work environment. The results produce a thorough set of recommendations and opportunities for management to address employee dissatisfiers and strengthen their organizations.

Our comprehensive reports detail the full range of issues identified, along with tactical recommendations for improvements. The charts, graphs and verbatim employee responses and opinions from survey and focus group research in your report provide a baseline and reference for continuous improvement.
