The challenge
Publishing values does not establish shared understanding. Employees may remember different words, interpret the same value differently, or struggle to connect the language to decisions and behavior.
Give your values a shared meaning people can use every day.
Holistic measures how clearly employees recognize and understand your organizational values. A focused assessment examines recall, accuracy, and patterns across the organization, helping leaders see which values are familiar and which need reinforcement. Broader work can explore how people interpret the values and where the stated commitments connect with everyday practices.
We turn the findings into practical opportunities for communication, onboarding, recognition, and management, with activation support available when you are ready to build on the assessment. Holistic believes values should guide how an organization works and how people experience it. We help you make those commitments visible, useful, and consistent.
Why It Matters
The opportunity
Shared values can help people understand expectations and discuss difficult choices. Measuring fluency gives leadership a useful starting point for strengthening that shared language; evaluating lived experience separately helps test whether the commitments are reflected in practice.
