Team conditions.
Clearly measured.

Most engagement tools measure how people feel. Groundwork measures what actually drives performance — the six conditions that determine whether your team stays, performs, and grows.

What we measure

Most engagement tools measure how people feel. Groundwork measures what drives performance.

Six conditions. Three pillars. The High-Performance Operating System.™

01
Pillar 01 · Safety
Psychological Safety
Can people speak up, flag problems, and make mistakes without fear?
Ideas flow freely, problems surface early, and your best thinkers contribute fully.
02
Pillar 01 · Safety
Workload & Resources
Do people have the time, tools, and staffing to do their work well?
People bring their full energy to work instead of managing their depletion.
03
Pillar 01 · Safety
Fairness & Recognition
Do people experience fair decisions, fair opportunities, and recognition that feels genuine?
People stay longer, perform at a higher level, and bring discretionary effort.
04
Pillar 02 · Understanding
Role Clarity & Agency
Do people know what success looks like and have meaningful control over how they work?
People focus on the right things and see how their work actually matters.
05
Pillar 03 · Connection
Belonging & Meaning
Do people feel they genuinely belong and that their absence would actually be felt?
People show up fully instead of just showing up.
06
Pillar 03 · Connection
Manager Relationship Quality
Does the direct manager genuinely support their people, or only manage their output?
Everything else on this list gets easier.
The Organizational Insight Brief

Not a report. A diagnosis.

Some organizations look at their data and know exactly what to do. Others want us to tell them what it means.

The Organizational Insight Brief does exactly that. We talk to your leaders. We pulse your team. Then we tell you what is actually happening, why, and where to start.

Included in Groundwork Annual and Diagnostic
Organizational Insight Brief
Sample · Confidential
What's really going on
You don't have a collaboration problem. You have a scoreboard problem. Your team is being asked to collaborate, but the system they're measured against still rewards individual wins. In a high-pressure environment, protective behavior isn't resistance. It's a rational response to the design.
Perception vs. reality
Leadership believes the team is aligned and motivated. What the data shows is a Fairness & Recognition score of 38, the lowest of the six conditions, and open text that consistently describes effort going unacknowledged.
Where to start
Fairness & Recognition is your starting point. Not because it's easiest to fix, but because it's the most predictive leading indicator of voluntary turnover in your environment.
