Organizational Health Assessment
A Tool to Measure and Monitor Your Organization’s Regenerative Capacity
Measure and Monitor With Life
Step into the future of organizational evaluations with our innovative Organizational Health Assessment (OHA). Unlike traditional evaluation methods that focus on troubleshooting productivity and efficiency measures, our assessment offers insight into the underlying health and capacity of the organization as a living system. The OHA is a comprehensive baseline assessment tool that embraces interconnectedness and complexity to provide a holistic evaluation of your organization's health and regenerative capacity.
Why a Shift to Health is Necessary
Traditional evaluation tools treat organizations like machines, focusing on productivity, efficiency and control. But today’s leaders face complex challenges that demand more—like fostering a thriving, resilient workforce.
Gallup’s 2023 report reveals:
At nRhythm, we view organizations as complex living systems with creative and evolving members, where health is the foundation for resilience and growth. Like tending to a garden, it’s about creating the right conditions to thrive. Our OHA helps organizations in transitioning from a control-based approach to nurturing health, leading to emergent outcomes and long-term success.

What Others are Saying
About the Tool:
As the Savory Global Network Coordinator, I have worked with the nRhythm team to better understand the health of the global network since 2018. We have improved our relationship with network members, had meaningful conversations and asked hard questions as a result of the Network Health Index process. I am so grateful to have this tool, and more importantly to have the nRhythm team supporting me in my role with the network.
Our team’s experience with the Organizational Health Index (OHI) survey was an enlightening one. We are small and are spread across multiple locations, which has been a difficult element of building a cohesive culture within the organization. The progression of questions in the OHI and the way in which they are worded is quite special… and completely necessary. I appreciated the “yes or “no” formatting for responses, as it really establishes a commitment to one idea or another. This is pivotal because it also encourages you to be completely honest with yourself for the benefit of the organization as a whole. I also like that we now have evidence to describe our current existence as an organization (a baseline) and can use that information to purposefully direct our actions moving forward. I really believe our team is looking forward to taking it again, after we have made some changes, so that we can ensure we are growing in a way that is beneficial and healthy for all members.

For the success of a community project, there are two essential factors: getting active input from the community regarding their specific needs and initiating a behaviour change process. Addressing this complex social situation has been a three-decade challenge, with a primary obstacle being the accurate assessment of the community's current situation. Obtaining honest feedback can be difficult, particularly in impoverished communities where residents may express their needs in the hope of receiving assistance. However, using the CHI as a diagnostic tool proved to be a significant breakthrough. It provided an authentic understanding of the prevailing circumstances and helped determine the most effective interventions.
Key Outcomes of the OHA
The OHA offers crucial information and data, empowering you to design, manage, and monitor your organization With Life. Key elements of the OHA include:
Discovering underlying opportunities and challenges within your organization.
Gaining perspective and fostering clarity and cohesion on organizational processes.
Aligning around actionable solutions to enhance underlying health and regenerative capacity.
Facilitating meaningful conversations with a common language.
Monitoring the organization's underlying health and regenerative capacity over time.
Unleashing the organization's full potential.
While the assessment itself is comprehensive and revealing, its true power lies in the conversations that emerge from the results. By engaging with the results, organizations can identify areas for growth and development, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Through open dialogue and collaboration, teams can work together to address challenges, leverage opportunities, and evolve together. The OHA serves as a catalyst for change, enabling organizations to embrace ongoing learning and development as they navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape.
Assessment Design
Upon completing the assessment, nRhythm uses the data to create detailed reports that provide deep insights into the organization’s condition. These reports feature category-specific scores, an overall score, and a trend score to predict future states and guide proactive redesign efforts.
Scores in the reports range from 0 to 5, depicting three health states.
Assessment Reports
The Organizational Report provides an overview of scores for the entire organization, offering detailed graphs and the ability to compare scores across the organization and by department.
The Individual Report offers a personal review of an individual's responses to the survey questions, providing password-protected access for each user.
The History Report enables comparative analysis by showcasing results from multiple OHAs conducted by the organization, facilitating the identification of patterns and evolutionary growth.
How Does the Tool Work?
Teams: The OHA can be used by an entire organization with multiple departments or by individual teams. We suggest a minimum of 5 people.
Format: This is an online tool, making it accessible and easy to use for organizations of all sizes, wherever you are located.
Timeframe: Once you submit the necessary forms (team email addresses and departments), it will take us 2 weeks to set up the OHA. Your team can choose the time frame for completing the OHA, with a recommended minimum of 2 weeks. After the team completes the OHA, we will process the results and have your reports ready within a week. This is a collaborative process and can move as quickly or slowly as you prefer.
Key Deliverables: Reports and facilitated session
OHA Value: The OHA not only delivers insightful data but, more crucially, sparks transformative conversations. Harness these insights to refine your organization's strategies and goals, strengthen team dynamics, and cultivate a robust, adaptable environment. Our goal is to empower you to develop a resilient organization.
