Why we built it

Engagement scores lie. Bodies don't.

By the time attrition shows up on a dashboard, the pattern has been visible for two quarters. Culture Pulse™ measures the physiological and psychological signature of burnout before it becomes a resignation letter — inside the same instrument you already trust for team dynamics.

48-item scan

Balanced positive/negative wording across six evidence-based drivers. 1–5 Likert. Reverse-scored so every driver reads higher = healthier.

Burnout Risk Index

One weighted 0–100 signal per team, mapped to a five-band read — from Thriving to Critical — that leaders instantly understand.

Hidden pocket detection

Dispersion analysis surfaces the quiet minority carrying the load — the pockets a whole-team average would smother.

Living leader playbook

Auto-selected client-safe interventions targeted to the exact drivers that are strained. Ready to run this week, not next quarter.

The six drivers

What we measure

Every driver is scored so that higher reads healthier. Weights are set from research on burnout's exit trajectory — exhaustion and cynicism carry the heaviest signal.

Weight 22%

Exhaustion Load

Physical and emotional depletion, recovery quality, and the 'always on' pressure.

Weight 20%

Cynicism & Distance

Detachment from the work, the people, and the mission — early exit signal.

Weight 16%

Workload Fit

Volume vs. capacity, role clarity, and priority discipline.

Weight 16%

Autonomy & Support

Decision latitude, manager backing, and resources to do the job well.

Weight 14%

Meaning & Recognition

Purpose alignment, being seen and valued, and growth trajectory.

Weight 12%

Psychological Safety

Voice, dissent, admitting mistakes, and trust across the team.

How it ships

Bundled — not upsold.

Step 01

Included with every Team Effectiveness

No separate SKU. Running a Culture Pulse wave consumes the same credit as the Team Effectiveness assessment.

Step 02

Anonymous by design

Team-level aggregation only, with a 5-respondent minimum. Individuals never appear in a report a leader can read.

Step 03

Playbook auto-selects

The lowest-scoring drivers pull matched interventions from our leader playbook library. Your consultant runs the delivery.

Stop measuring engagement. Start measuring energy.
