Vital Insight
Leading people and developing a positive workplace culture are two of the most important skills and priorities of today’s dairy leaders and managers. This happens best with intention and a commitment to people and their continuous improvement. Vital Insight, developed in collaboration with Purdue University’s Center for Food and Agricultural Business, is a survey tool for assessing dairy employees and is an integral component of the Core Insight™ Program. This resource is an essential step in helping your dairy leadership team achieve an attractive workplace for current and prospective employees.
We developed Vital Insight because we know a dairy farm can be a great place to work and employees want to work where they are valued. We believe employees can and want to contribute valuable insight into how to improve communication, teamwork, clarity and engagement.
Employee feedback is useful in evaluating current systems and assessing where to make adjustments that result in an ideal workplace, improved culture and higher employee retention. It is also important when developing your next generation of farm managers and supervisors.
- Improves communication
- Enhances employee engagement
- Improves employee performance
- Fosters dairy success
- Integrates farm purpose and values
- Enhances your ability to effectively lead employees
Vital Insight includes questions providing key information on communication, leadership, engagement, teamwork, motivation, safety and other areas. On survey day, we meet with your employees and facilitate the survey electronically in English and Spanish. The survey is anonymous and takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
A post-survey virtual meeting is held to share the results. We work in a way determined by you to ensure the impact of the survey is maximized, priorities and goals are developed, and survey results are communicated back to employees as the next step towards open communication and priority implementation.
