When you take steps to better your organization, you need to know if your efforts are working within your organization. The Baldrige Express survey, offered by ILPEx in conjunction with the National Council for Performance Excellence, offers a high-level diagnostic tool that can help you gauge implementation of improvement initiatives and tell you if your efforts are working. Providing useful benchmarking data with other organizations, it also allows you to try the Baldrige approach with minimal cost and commitment.
The Baldrige Express survey obtains input from a cross section of functions, locations, and grade levels throughout the organization that you identify to take the survey. The survey measures performance on a wide range of key performance indicators and helps to evaluate key processes, systems and results. The survey helps identify organizational strengths, deployment gaps, and pinpoints vital opportunities for improvement.
How does the Baldrige Express survey work?
The online, web-based survey is easily accessible from any PC. The 45-question survey itself takes an hour to an hour-and-a half for each user to complete (depending on how thoughtful the person is in their comments). Companies often give employees a deadline to complete it (7 or 14 days, with access 24 hours a day) and can include incentives to encourage participation.
Once the company finishes gathering input from its employees, feedback comes quickly — within five days of completion, organizations will receive a feedback report.
