The Freedom at Work Scorecard

Are you building a freedom-centered or fear-based workplace culture
people love or loathe?


Take our proven, research-based assessment and find out.

The Freedom at Work™ Scorecard is used by top organizations all over the world
and is the premier strategic tool for leaders who want to build a workplace culture
based on freedom with accountability as a strategy for massive bottom-line results.

The Freedom at Work Scorecard was developed based on a decade of research
into what it takes to build a freedom-centered, democratic workplace.

Our rigorous assessment tool has been used by thousands of employees
in organizations worldwide at leading companies such as Zappos, WD-40, Pandora,
Groupon, DaVita, Mindvalley, Menlo Innovations and more.

Research shows that there is a 75% correlation between the
systems and processes an organization has in place and how
freedom-centered its culture is – or isn’t.

Taking a very specific and detailed look at what’s working and not working
in your organization’s design is vital to your growth, agility, competitiveness,
and culture.

The Freedom at Work Scorecard measures the overall design of an organization
based on the WorldBlu 10 Principles of Organizational Democracy.
It evaluates how well the 10 principles are applied
at a leadership, individual employee, and systems and processes level 
across your organization.

The survey itself is a quick and straightforward 10-minute assessment
comprised of 31 questions (with 10 optional comment boxes) and is
taken by your employees online.

The survey is available in multiple languages.

Organizations scoring an average of 3.5 out of 5.0 earn certification and a place
on the prestigious annual WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Organizations™.

This is why many of the top brands in the world have worked with us.

Our Freedom at Work Scorecard shows you what no other assessment
in the world can show you, delivering proven results.

The Wrong Approach to Assessment:
Measuring Outcomes

Are you wasting valuable time and money measuring the outcomes rather than the cause of the problems in your culture?

If yes, then you’re taking the wrong approach to what
creates a healthy culture and drives results. Stop measuring outcomes (like the ones listed below) and instead measure what causes the outcomes you really want to achieve.

FAQ

Have a question about the Freedom at Work Scorecard? We have answers!

How is the Freedom at Work Scorecard different from other culture surveys out there?

The Freedom at Work Scorecard is a highly unique assessment, measuring your organizational design based on the WorldBlu 10 Principles of Organizational Democracy. Most other surveys are simply generic culture assessments that are not based on a proven strategy and only measure outcomes, such as engagement levels, trust, and happiness. The Freedom at Work Scorecard difference is that it is a proven assessment based on a decade of research and used by leading organizations worldwide. It measures what causes key organizational outcomes, so you can pinpoint exactly where your organization needs to evolve and change.

What exactly is the process?

In order to apply for the Freedom at Work Scorecard, simply click the "Apply Now" button at the top of this page. Next, complete our short application and we will set up a call to connect with you. After we review the details with you and make sure your organization is qualified for the Freedom at Work Scorecard, a select number of your employees will complete our online assessment. It takes about 10 minutes per person to complete, a bit longer if they decide to write in optional comments. Once we receive all of the needed completed assessments, we will give you your results. If your organization scores a 3.5 or higher out of 5.0 on your overall score, you qualify for the prestigious WorldBlu certification as a Freedom-Centered Culture, joining a premier global community.

Who is eligible for the Freedom at Work Scorecard?

Any organization that has been in business at least one full year, has 20 or more employees (including full and part-time), and a minimum of $1 million in annual revenue is invited to take the Freedom at Work Scorecard and apply for the WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Cultures annual certification. 

Who developed the Freedom at Work Scorecard?

The Freedom at Work Scorecard was developed by Traci Fenton, Founder and CEO of WorldBlu, based on a decade of extensive research and consultation with leading experts in democracy and organizational assessment. 

How long does it take to complete?

The Freedom at Work Scorecard is fast and easy, taking about 10 minutes per person to complete (a bit longer if they decide to write in optional comments). 

Does the process involve any focus groups or interviews?

We spent over a decade researching exactly what questions to ask in the Freedom at Work Scorecard so that focus groups and interviews are unnecessary to get proven and substantial results.

How many people at my organization need to take the Freedom at Work Scorecard?

Depending on the size of your organization, either 70 percent OR 100 percent of a random sample group needs to complete the Freedom at Work Scorecard in order for your results to be statistically valid. Once you apply and we set up a call to talk with you, we can discuss which option is best for your organization.

What format are our results delivered in?

If you select to only do the free version of the Freedom at Work Scorecard, you will receive an overview of your results in a PDF format. Should you choose to purchase your full results, which we highly recommend, you will be able to see your results online and can also download a complete and extensive report in a CSV or PDF formats. 

How much does it cost?

The cost of The Freedom at Work Scorecard depends on the total revenue of your organization. Please contact us for full details.

We are using other surveys, should we stop taking them and do yours instead?

There is no need to stop doing your other assessment unless, after you speak with us, you discover that our assessment will deliver similar results to what you are already doing. This is very unlikely, however. The Freedom at Work Scorecard is highly unique, measuring your organizational design based on the WorldBlu 10 Principles of Organizational Democracy. Unlike other surveys that are generic and measure outcomes, such as engagement levels, trust, and happiness, the Freedom at Work Scorecard measures what causes these outcomes, so you can pinpoint exactly where your organization needs to change.

Which languages do you offer the Freedom at Work Scorecard in?

We offer the Freedom at Work Scorecard in nine languages, including English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Danish, Chinese, Haitian, and Romanian. If you need the Freedom at Work Scorecard in a language that we do not already offer it in, we can easily have it translated for you and set it up on our system. Additional costs may apply.

We have survey fatigue, is it really worth taking?

Absolutely, just plan to do it at a time that it will not conflict with your other surveys.  The Freedom at Work Scorecard is highly unique, measuring your organizational design based on the WorldBlu 10 Principles of Organizational Democracy. Unlike other surveys that are generic and measure outcomes, such as engagement levels, trust, and happiness, the Freedom at Work Scorecard measures what causes these outcomes, so you can pinpoint exactly where your organization needs to change. You don't want to miss out on the deep and substantial insights you will gain from this comprehensive assessment. 

If we get certified, how long does it last?

If your organization becomes a WorldBlu certified Freedom-Centered Culture, you will need to renew your certification annually by taking the Freedom at Work Scorecard. We've certified hundreds of organizations around the world, and they find doing the annual assessment to be invaluable as they grow and compete across a dynamic and competitive global business landscape.

Why aren’t there more organizations certified by WorldBlu?

Unlike other certifications and awards that are given by an outside panel of judges or based on essays and organizational "propaganda," earning the WorldBlu certification is based on what your employees share with us based on the WorldBlu 10 Principles of Organizational Democracy. Organizational democracy is the optimal organizational system for unlocking human potential and achieving break-through bottom-line results. Since we are measuring the level of organizational democracy, the framework for freedom within your organization, we believe in hearing from the voice of your people on your practice of the 10 principles of organizational democracy across three key dimensions: leadership, employee participation, and most importantly, your systems and processes. Therefore, getting certified is a very high standard to achieve, making our certification one of the most prestigious and rigorous organizational awards in the world to earn.

When is the annual WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Organizations announced?

The annual WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Organizations is announced on a rolling basis as organizations become certified.
