STAR Workplace Program

STAR Workplace measures strategic alignment between your business strategy, employee functions and activities, and your business culture. STAR goes beyond employee engagement and satisfaction.

The 4 stages of STAR Workplace Program

Understand

1-1 discussion with the business owner on performance, strategy and team. We agree on the survey parameters for the team, including department and location breakdown and we develop up to 10 free text questions for your team. This usually takes 1.5 to 2hrs.

Examine

We send out unique survey links to all team members to rate their engagement against the following key areas:

  • Organisational Measurement and Planning
  • HR Processes and Systems
  • Governance and Compliance
  • Performance Management
  • Workplace Improvement
  • Team Culture
  • Management Culture

Surveys can be completed anonymously.

Analyse

Results are analysed and presented back to the business owner in a 2-hour presentation meeting. Reports are presented in clear to read language and graphics to highlight areas of importance. Your business is benchmarked against others in your industry to give you a clear picture on how you are performing.

Review

We will work with you to interpret your findings and to pave a path forward, focussing on areas of priority. This includes an interactive workshop with you, your leadership team and broader team to assist the business in gaining a better understanding of the results, and to develop an improvement focused action plan.

STAR Workplace FAQs

The STAR online survey is quick and easy to complete, it will take employees about 15 minutes. Once employees have entered their anonymous responses it’s then up to us to present the data to you so that you can understand areas in which your business is doing well and where it is mis-aligned. We will work with you to develop an action plan that is generally implemented over a 12 month period but we take a phased approach so it’s in line with your business requirements.

It’s important to include as many employees as possible to gain the full picture on employee satisfaction and engagement and where there are currently gaps in alignment across the business. By involving the whole team you increase employee buy-in, and demonstrate that everyone’s feedback is valued. This can be helpful in gaining support during the implementation phase.

STAR is a fully online platform that looks at both employee and employer satisfaction and improves performance by helping you to understand how all the pieces fit together, and where any gaps may be. Some programs will look at personality types, communication styles, employee satisfaction or organisational culture, but STAR Workplace looks at how all of these factors align with the overall strategy and where there is room for improvement. It also looks at your satisfaction as the business owner.

Pragmatic, practical, people-centred approach

I really appreciate Vanessa’s pragmatic, practical, people centred (within organisational limitations) approach that clarifies the process required to achieve the desired outcome, continually developing inhouse capacity rather than creating a dependence on an external organisation.

I would and do, recommend HR Maximised in my professional life where I deal with SME’s on a continual basis. I have also worked with various CALD communities in a previous workplace and think HR Maximised would be ideal to develop the cultural and performance tools required for SME’s to improve productivity, performance and profit
