Before we move on to other products I believe we should spend a little more time on our VMO Assessment and what it specifically does. Using this tool starts with identifying and communicating with the desired respondents. They need to know what the assessment is, why it is being conducted, and what to expect when it is complete. It is important to reinforce that their results will be confidential and they are encouraged to be candid and reflect reality, not what should be. It is easy to assess 100% of a target population, not just a small sample typical with “face to face” assessments.
A time period (perhaps 2 weeks) is defined as the “open period” during which time, the respondents can access the survey portal from any Internet Explorer connection available to them, and respond. They are allowed to respond in multiple sessions if needed (in other words, they can answer some questions, logout, and come back later to answer the remainder).
Once the open period is over, the analysis tools can be utilized by management and other problem solvers to identify strategic strengths and weaknesses, contrast performance across various demographics including locations, titles, departments, functions, etc. and finally derive concise actions to solve these problems.Using this tool starts with identifying and communicating with the desired respondents.
