Before embarking on any service Absolute would endeavour, through consultation, to determine the exact needs and requirements of your organisation and/ or team. All Absolute interventions begin with intensive consultation and would be supported by such throughout. All Absolute consultants are well trained, experienced, well qualified and come with superior references from both previous clients and their previous employers where relevant. Often included in any preconsultation, particularly prior to implementing a climate survey or culture audit, we would conduct a policy review if so requested.
1. Organisational Culture and Diversity Audits
Absolute Ndaba have successfully completed over 25 culture audits within large organisations over the last fifteen years. Working closely with academics from within the Wits School of Human and Community Development Absolute are able to produce audits that are vivid, accurate and informed. The tools we use are both qualitative and quantitative and most often results are triangulated using various sources of input and data. Absolute Ndaba culture audits allow for your organisational culture to be benchmarked against others within your sector and can be administered in all South African languages.
Absolute commit to more than chapters and chapters of numbers and figures. Using qualitative and quantitative methods we are able to give you a culture audit that is not only detailed, but one that makes Absolute sense.
