NYSML Communication Health Check
Assess your organization's communication culture
Welcome to Your Communication Health Assessment
The purpose of our work is to help leaders love where they lead, while creating a place others love to be, through intentional, high-impact communication.
The Communication Health Check is a diagnostic assessment for organizations to measure the health of their team and organizational communication. This tool identifies the urgent pain points that leaders are dealing with, particularly those that affect organizational climate and culture, staff morale and engagement, staff retention, and leadership effectiveness.
Awareness Framework
What We're Measuring
We assess your organization's communication environment across four key awareness areas that directly impact organizational climate, staff retention, and leadership effectiveness:
- Self-Awareness: How people take responsibility for their communication
- Other-Awareness: How people adapt their communication to connect with others
- Team-Awareness: How people navigate conflict and contribute to group conversations
- Culture-Awareness: How communication creates an environment people want to stay in
Why This Measurement Matters
Communication breakdowns don't just create frustration - they drive staff turnover, damage organizational climate, and make it harder for leaders to be effective. This assessment identifies where your organization's communication environment is creating costly problems that demand immediate attention.
How We Transform Your Reality
By diagnosing your current communication culture, you can see exactly where the gaps are and take targeted action to create an environment where people choose to stay, engage, and do their best work.
Assessment Instructions
Rate each statement based on how often it reflects the current communication culture in your organization. Be honest about what actually happens, not what you wish happened.
