Adoption Review

Why isn’t your team using its wellbeing support?

Low use is common across the industry, and the usual fix, more promotion, rarely works. Adoption Review finds the cause first, so the fix goes to the right place.

It is a fixed four-week review of one program. You get a written report, a readout for your leadership team and a short list of what to change first.

How we protect your people

Individual answers are never shared with your organization. Results are reported by theme and by group, and only for groups large enough that no one can be identified.

  • Reported by theme
  • Reported by group
  • Never by person

Where the cause usually sits

The program

Whether the support fits how people work, when they can reach it and what they need from it

The managers

Whether managers help people use the support, or get in its way without meaning to

Hiring and promotion

Whether selection and promotion build resilience, or work against it

Four week engagement

  1. Week 1

    Pulse survey

  2. Week 2

    Interviews

    Structured questions built from the survey, in person or by survey

  3. Week 3

    Analysis

    Each finding is mapped to the program, the managers or hiring

  4. Week 4

    Report

    A written report and a readout for your leadership team

Why the survey comes first

The survey is not a general check on how people feel. Its answers decide what the interviews ask, so the interview time goes on the issues that matter most to your team, and the review covers more ground in the same four weeks.

Four quarters, one year

A Fortune 100 company

    Baseline across health, energy, relationships, workplace and satisfaction

  2. Q2 2023

    Follow-up after the layoffs, covering security, stress, team dynamics and promotion

  3. Q3 2023

    Structured interviews on stress, support, feedback and promotion

  4. Q4 2023

    Manager-level support and a plan for the year ahead

Who this is not for

  • You cannot give staff time for the interviews
  • You need us to run your recruitment. If hiring is the cause, we make strong, specific recommendations, and your team carries them out

Questions we get

Will staff see this as an HR survey?
We explain the review to staff before it starts, in language you approve. They can see how their answers are used.
Who sees the results?
Your leadership team receives the written report. Individual answers are never shared with your organization.
What if the program is fine?
Then the report says so, and it shows where to look instead. A clear result is a useful one.
