Why we're different
-
Research shows that around 80% or more of a business’ value is made up of intangible assets.
-
Around 30% is derived from human capability, split into 15% from people and 15% from the top team.
-
Most due diligence doesn’t go far enough on leadership and misses the workforce altogether.
-
Out Leadership & People 360 goes further and deeper.
-
We assess the 30% with the same rigour as you would expect on the commercials.
SaltX unified business value model (mid-market) combining Ocean Tomo and Ulrich.
The People 360 identifies significant business value by unlocking the connection between employee engagement and business performance.
-
Research shows that businesses perform better than their competitors when they have high employee engagement.
-
And yet engagement is often stubbornly low, which is why we need a fundamental shift in our thinking about engagement.
-
Engagement is the outcome. Employee experience is the input.
-
The People 360 finds the most potent employee experience factors to make the biggest impact on performance.
-
By examining the employee experience, we uncover risk and unlock potential value.
Businesses with highly engaged people outperform competitors.
*Data based on research carried out by Engage for Success, Harvard Business Review and Gallup.
The People 360 maps the 20 most impactful factors for improved business performance.
Assessing the whole uncovers otherwise obscured risks and discovers untapped value.
The SaltX EX Tube Model
Our extensive research results in a map of the employee experience, showing immediate strengths and weaknesses.
Then we use our impact model to identify risks and opportunities for value creation.
Focus Groups
Focus groups with a representative sample of people managers and the general employee population, along with an initial workshop with the people team.
Leadership Interviews
One-to-one interviews with specific roles within the senior leadership team and other leaders that have outsized impact on the employee experience.
Employee survey
Our proprietary employee voice survey provides quantitative data. For mature businesses we substitute this element for re-analysis of existing survey data.
Desk research
Assessing EX factors like organisational design and people policies. We also review external indicators like Glassdoor ratings and reviews.
Assessing the team, not just the individual
Traditional Management DD can do a good job at understanding individual leaders, but it often misses a key component of successfully scaling: team dynamics.

Proprietary team dynamics assessment
Hogan Assessments
Hogan uniquely blends identity (who you think you are) with reputation (how others actually experience you). This is important for two reasons: 1) the distance between broadcaster and receiver can be huge. 2) Acceptance of the assessment result is vastly higher.
One-to-one interviews
Alongside the interpretation and feedback of their flagship leadership forecast report, leaders will get a 1:1 session with an ICF certified exec-coach to go deeper in surfacing individual capabilities and to carry out further personalised assessment to flag risks and uncover value.
Team dynamics
Combining the reports and interview data with our proprietary AI model allows us to take a powerful view on leadership teams dynamics; where they will align and be effective as well as where they will potentially derail and stall. This is presented succinctly in the focused report.
