Surveys by Design
Most employee surveys generate reports. Our service drives transformation.
Does this Sound Familiar?
You ran a survey. The results came back. You spent weeks analyzing data and discussing results — and then leadership moved on. Or you know your current survey instrument is not working, but you're not sure how to fix it. Or maybe you simply want to better understand what your employees are thinking and feeling, but you lack the expertise and technology to make it happen. For all your survey related challenges, we can help.
What is Surveys by Design?
A focused, fixed-fee service that gives leaders expert support from a People Scientist, when and where you need them the most. You can partner with us on any of the three major surveying components; design, analysis, and executive presentation. Or just get the specific help you need right now. No long engagements. No platform required. Fixed price, clearly scoped, delivered in weeks.

How We Work
1. Tell Us Where You Are
A 20-minute conversation to understand your current survey situation — what you have, and what you need. No commitment required.
2. We Get to Work
Scoped and started as soon as you are ready. Fixed price. Clear deliverables. No scope creep.
3. You Walk Away Ready to Act
Better instruments, clearer insights, and leadership conversation that produce meaningful change.
Ongoing Support
For organizations looking for a partner — not a series of projects.
Some clients need a capability, not just a one-time engagement. Gather Works can embed an Organization Development expert into your team on a fractional basis — providing you with a thought partner, diagnostic lead, and strategic advisor without the commitment of a full-time hire.
