DecisionWise awards five top-performing organizations with employee engagement best practice awards.

Springville, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/19/2015 -- DecisionWise announced the winners of the 2015 Employee Engagement Best Practice Awards. Dr. Paul Warner, Global Employee Engagement Architect, and his team analyzed employee engagement survey data for 2014 to determine the five top-scoring organizations.

"These awards publicly recognize organizations that are using best practices to improve company culture, employee engagement, and working conditions," said Warner. The recipients of DecisionWise Employee Engagement Best Practice Awards for 2015 are as follows, in alphabetical order:

Affinity Federal Credit Union (Basking Ridge, NJ)
CHG Healthcare Services (Salt Lake City, UT)
Crown Castle (Houston, TX)
GreatAmerica Financial Services (Cedar Rapids, IA)
PCI (San Diego, CA)

These organizations exemplify best practices in employee engagement, both through their annual employee engagement survey results and through their actions to create an engaged workplace. DecisionWise analysts reviewed over 4.6 million survey responses to identify these top five organizations who scored within the top 10% of the DecisionWise international employee engagement survey benchmark database.

"We're humbled that these companies have made DecisionWise a strategic partner for employee engagement surveys, and we're proud that they have taken clear, measurable actions to leverage employee feedback and create a positive, engaging, and energizing workplace for their teams," said DecisionWise Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tracy Maylett.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/18/2014 -- Management consulting firm DecisionWise released its latest research today regarding factors impacting levels of employee engagement. A key finding shows a clear gap between information available to company leadership, versus that available to line-level employees.

While this may be intuitive, DecisionWise points out, the depth of this gap may be more damaging than previously thought.

The employee engagement research team, led by Dr. David Mason, found that that the vast majority (more than 90 percent) of executives and senior managers indicate the level of communication they receive about important information in the organization is appropriate. However, only 78% of mid-level managers responded favorably, and just 68% of line-level employees responded favorably, a gap Dr. Mason points out should be troubling to leaders of organizations.

Dr. Mason stated, "This engagement study clearly indicates that while the heads of organizations may think they are communicating critical information effectively, this information often doesn't get down to the rank-and-file the way they thought it would." Dr. Mason refers to results taken from over 450,000 responses to employee engagement surveys conducted during the latter half of 2014, in which employees across multiple organizations and industries responded to three questions about organizational communication.

"We may think we are providing employees with the information they need to be successful," Dr. Mason continues, "yet nearly one-third of the line-level managers are operating either on missing information, or information that is so distorted by the time it reaches them that they cannot be effective in their roles. Think of it this way. If you look to the person on your left, and then to the person on your right, one of the three of you is not getting the message. That's a problem that leads to silos, poor teamwork, decreased quality, inefficiencies, poor customer service, and overall disengagement."

The DecisionWise study further illustrates that, despite employee engagement becoming a major focus in most organizations throughout the world, it has budged very little over the past decade, remaining flat in most industries, and even decreasing in some sectors.

The book introduces the five MAGIC keys of employee engagement—Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact and Connection—and shows how leaders can help employees achieve higher levels of engagement.

Provo, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/13/2014 -- Today leaders and employees of management consulting firm DecisionWise are celebrating the official release of the book MAGIC: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Employee Engagement, coauthored by DecisionWise CEO, Tracy Maylett, and Global Employee Engagement Architect, Paul Warner.

"We've been anxiously waiting for this day for years," said Warner. "Over the past year, we scoured all of our research, survey data and client experiences as we worked to construct a book that benefits not only organizational leaders but also individuals. I'm extremely pleased that we're able to make our research and conclusions available to the public."

MAGIC is a five-part approach to making organizations stronger, more profitable and better places to work. The book introduces the five MAGIC keys of employee engagement—Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact and Connection—and shows how leaders can help employees achieve higher levels of engagement, as well as how employees can be more successful by taking ownership for their own MAGIC.

"For the longest time, employee engagement has been considered a management responsibility," said Maylett. "MAGIC helps us all realize the impracticality of that way of thinking. Both leaders and employees are responsible for employee engagement. Ultimately, however, individuals choose whether or not they engage. The responsibility of both the leader and the organization is to create the environment in which employees can make that choice," he continued.

Published by Greenleaf Book Group, MAGIC: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Employee Engagement is available beginning October 21, 2014 on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other major booksellers.

Provo, Utah, USA-based management consulting firm announces changes to its management team and internal ranks as company kicks off a new year of rapid growth.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/13/2014 -- Today DecisionWise, Inc. announced formal leadership changes, including both reassignments and new hires within the company's global practice team. This announcement comes shortly after news in late 2013 about the company's acquisition of a second United States campus and physical expansion into the European Union, opening an office in The Netherlands.

The company's executive team welcomes its newest member, Cameron Wilkinson, as Vice President of Business Development. Wilkinson joined DecisionWise in April of 2013, taking charge of new client accounts. "I'm excited to join a vibrant senior team. This transition allows us to separate the sales and marketing functions and double our efforts on both fronts. I'm looking forward to what the future holds for us," said Wilkinson, who brings with him over a decade of senior-level finance, sales and entrepreneurial experience to the role.

Charles Rogel, previously the Director of Business Development, has transitioned to Director of Products and Marketing, as DecisionWise prepares for the upcoming release of its employee engagement publications and services.

Dr. Paul Warner, previously the Director of Consulting Services, has been tasked with leading the DecisionWise Employee Engagement Practice. His new role as Global Employee Engagement Architect will further assist in positioning DecisionWise as the recognized leader in the employee engagement space.

Filling Warner's vacated role in leading the consulting function is Linda Linfield. Linfield joined DecisionWise in 2010 to strengthen DecisionWise talent assessment solutions. Having brought additional assessment and team-building capabilities to the firm, Linfield has been instrumental in increasing DecisionWise's global presence in developing team leadership. Linda will take a formal seat on the firm's executive team.

When asked about the company's growth, Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tracy Maylett, said, "Over the past 17 years DecisionWise has grown from two individuals operating out of a garage to a large, international, vibrant team of domain experts. We've experienced consistent growth over the years, and we're set up for another record-breaking year in 2014."

Management consulting firm DecisionWise, Inc. has designed a global, one-day employee engagement training program for audiences ranging from entry-level employees to senior leaders.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/16/2013 -- DecisionWise curriculum specialists have designed a new employee engagement training program focused on the company's new research-based model of employee engagement: MAGIC.

"We're thrilled to be offering a robust engagement training solution to our clients," said Director of Consulting Services, Dr. Paul Warner. "Over the last year, we have been developing a comprehensive training curriculum. The program constitutes a one-day course, with a half-day session for all employees, and another half-day session for company managers," Warner continued. "The training is highly interactive and draws on the experiences of participants to model the concepts. The material and training activities engage people in the learning process."

The MAGIC framework, emphasized throughout the training program, is designed around five essential elements:

- Meaning—When one's work has purpose beyond the job itself.
- Autonomy—The ability to control and shape one's role and environment in a way that best uses one's talents and preferences to produce optimal results.
- Growth—Developing; becoming better tomorrow than you are today, both professionally and personally.
- Impact—Causing and being a part of results; seeing positive and worthwhile outcomes of one's efforts.
- Connection—A sense of belonging to something greater than oneself.

During the training workshop, employees and managers alike will learn about how to create each of these elements, in both their and others' jobs.

"A manager's impact on his or her employees' levels of engagement is crucial," stated Director of Client Services, Kristin Chapman, who is currently leading an in-depth statistical analysis project on the company's database of 12.3 million engagement survey responses. "We've discovered a direct correlation between a manager's level of engagement and the level of engagement of his or her direct reports," continued Chapman. "This positive relationship shows that even though an individual's level of engagement is largely based on personal choice, his or her manager's level of engagement is also influential."

Following up on Chapman's remarks, Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tracy Maylett, said, "We've created two distinct segments in the MAGIC training for a reason. We are helping employees discover how to be more personally engaged, while also guiding leaders towards understanding how their actions can ultimately be the deciding factor between full and lukewarm engagement in their teams."

After an in-depth analysis of over 12 million employee engagement survey responses, DecisionWise researchers developed a five-factor framework and model for measuring employee engagement.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/09/2013 -- For nearly two decades, Provo, Utah-based management consulting firm DecisionWise, Inc. has measured and studied the levels of employee engagement in global organizations. As part of this study, DecisionWise researchers initiated a project to analyze aggregate employee survey responses for trends that positively correlate with reported levels of employee engagement.

The data-analysis project, led by Director of Consulting Services, Dr. Paul Warner, examined the 12.3 million most recent engagement survey responses. "Once we began analyzing the survey data, five common factors were brought to light," said Warner. "As we continued our analysis, these same five correlative elements became even stronger."

After 18 months of statistical and qualitative analysis, Warner's team announced five essential elements of employee engagement:

- Meaning
- Autonomy
- Growth
- Impact
- Connection

The five elements (MAGIC) of employee engagement have been shared with DecisionWise clients, as well as in workshops across the US. "The reception has been phenomenal," said Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tracy Maylett. "We routinely hear how these five elements resonate with people in any organization. While different organizations will foster different levels of each element—and while each individual requires different levels of each element to reach full personal engagement—we know that all five are required for true employee engagement to be present."

Maylett described the research leading up to the formulation of the MAGIC model in a recent webinar. To view a recording of the one-hour webinar, click here. To register for an upcoming preview webinar of the MAGIC model and the related training program, please click here.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/03/2013 -- Today, after extensive beta-testing with clients, management consulting firm DecisionWise, Inc. officially released its online employee engagement survey and reporting tool (the Leadership Intelligence® System) for client use. Today's official release marks a milestone in the system's development, a process that spans nearly two years of full-time collaboration.

"Releasing this system to our entire client base is a huge achievement for our team," reports DecisionWise Director of Client Services, Kristin Chapman. "We developed the Leadership Intelligence® System in response to needs apparent in both our market and our client companies. Today, I'm proud to say our offerings far outperform any other online employee engagement survey and reporting tool we have seen."

DecisionWise released its first employee engagement survey platform nearly two decades ago, establishing the firm as pioneer in the field of employee surveys and assessment. Significant revamps to that original system were made over the subsequent decade, which matched changes and new research findings related to employee engagement. Additional versions were then released annually for the past number of years. However, the Leadership Intelligence® System marks a completely new way of viewing and measuring employee engagement, according to DecisionWise.

When asked about strategic differences between the Leadership Intelligence® System and competing systems, DecisionWise Director of Consulting Services, Dr. Paul Warner, explained the system's developmental process: "Our system stands out in a sea of other online employee survey tools because of its foundation. The system was developed around our core research and knowledge of organization development and industrial psychology. Our dedicated technology team worked closely with an expert team of assessment project managers, each with experience in myriad industries and a deep understanding of employee engagement and its effect on business metrics."

DecisionWise continues to offer and promote free, public webinars that take participants on a tour of the Leadership Intelligence® System's most critical features.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/22/2013 -- To better diagnose and analyze the level of employee engagement and cultural health of organizations, DecisionWise, Inc. will release the most advanced online employee engagement survey and reporting system: the Leadership Intelligence® System.

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/22/2013 -- Due to increased demand for leadership assessment tools in the Middle East, DecisionWise translated the Leadership Intelligence® 360 Feedback Survey for Business Leaders into Arabic. The Leadership Intelligence^® 360 Feedback Survey is based on extensive research conducted by DecisionWise over a 14-year period from 1995 to 2009. It includes the 12 most-important leadership competencies and a special Derailer section to identify behaviors that undermine a leader's effectiveness.

The new Arabic survey version has been tested and validated for both grammar and cultural relevance. DecisionWise has translated 360 surveys into over 30 languages and works with clients in over 60 countries. This latest language version will provide additional resources for our partners in the Middle East to increase awareness and leadership accountability.

DecisionWise Director of Client Services, Kristin Chapman, who leads the customer-facing team of project managers stated, "We feel that providing services to Arabic-speaking countries further supports the growing need that exists in leadership development and organization development related services in the Arabic-speaking region of the world."

The Leadership Intelligence® 360 Feedback Survey comes in versions for Executives, Business Leaders, Team Leaders, and Individual Contributors. Though all of these surveys use similar competencies, the survey items use more strategic language for senior leaders and more functional language for front-line leaders and individual contributors. The surveys have been used by thousands of leaders around the world and provide extensive benchmark comparisons.

When asked about the company's new Arabic offerings, DecisionWise Director of Consulting Services, Dr. Paul Warner, stated, "We work with many international organizations where many of their key and potential leaders want to complete a 360 Feedback survey with content in their preferred language. In the past decade, we have noticed a positive trend towards expanding proven leadership development tools (like 360 degree feedback) from corporate headquarters to all geographic sectors. The availability of a valid and effective 360 feedback survey in Arabic allows organizations to assess and develop an even greater number of leaders and professionals. Most important, this new tool opens the door to more robust benchmarking information with region-specific norms that give more culturally relevant comparisons."

Provo, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/25/2013 -- Earlier this week, Provo, Utah-based consulting firm DecisionWise, Inc. announced the development of a new technology, designed to complement existing survey process offerings: the Leadership Intelligence® System (LIS). This new system will allow HR leaders and business managers to view employee engagement survey results in a myriad of additional ways in order to uncover hidden insights in the data.

The technology allows company HR and executive teams to interact with the results, providing drill-down analytics of large-scale survey data. Employee engagement survey results stored in LIS can be exported to typical business-use software, such as MS Excel, for additional analysis. Users are able to drill down to different levels in the organization based on predetermined permissions, sort results by various criteria, and see results dynamically to compare different demographic variables such as job function, tenure, and department.

"LIS will give our clients the ability to access their reports, drill into the data, and even build their own views into the data all over the Internet," said DecisionWise CTO, Dave Haws. "Knowing the expected response from our clients, we have built our system using cloud and clustered technologies so that our system will scale as our clients' needs grow. We are very excited to see their reactions as we move into the next testing phase of our development," he continued.

The new system allows users to instantly find answers to questions such as

- Which managers have the highest and lowest overall scores from their direct reports?
- How do my scores compare to scores last year and to my industry benchmark?
- Which locations have the lowest scores for new employees?
- What are the questions that have the largest gaps in scores between departments?

While the ability to extract survey data through industry-leading surveys processes has been at the heart of DecisionWise's survey capabilities for over a decade, LIS adds a completely new level of value to existing survey processes within an organization. According to DecisionWise Director of Consulting Services, Paul Warner, "the Leadership Intelligence® System provides clients with exactly what the name implies—intelligence. By giving our clients more access to their survey results they will be able to respond to emerging business issues, and have instant access to the most critical information. Most important, easy-to-access and easily understood business intelligence is more readily acted upon."
