Standards

What certification guarantees.

A certified practitioner can be trusted with the one thing this methodology depends on: telling an organization the truth about its own employee experience, with evidence.

  • Diagnostic honesty

    Data, interpretation, assumption and recommendation are always stated separately.

  • Privacy discipline

    Aggregation thresholds are respected; individuals are never identifiable.

  • Ownership clarity

    Every recommendation leaves the room with a named owner and a metric.

  • Re-measurement

    No engagement is complete without a second measurement.
