As an Ambassador, you are the best liaison for your department to discover gaps and promote engagement or wellness throughout the workplace. A department needs assessment is a systematic process for determining improvements that can be made in a department. It addresses needs, as well as desired conditions to enhance the overall well-being of the department’s employees. After completing a needs assessment for your department, you can evaluate the types of activities and programming your colleagues are interested in and implement department programs.
These tools will allow you to:
– Assess your department’s worksite culture
– Provide guidance and a roadmap on best practices for creating an engaged and healthy workplace
Below are some resources to help guide you on identifying priority areas locally within your department. Feel free to customize the templates below or create your very own!
