About the Program

Define Actionable Steps

with the OPTIC™ Survey

The OPTIC™ is a comprehensive organizational assessment tool giving you an honest look at the alignment of your business with trauma-informed values. The results highlight necessary steps to achieving a human-centered workplace culture.

The OPTIC™ survey will be implemented pre- and post-program to provide your organization with insights and actionable steps to tailor your culture to success. The survey is then available to be taken quarterly as part of our Community of Practice for continued monitoring and measuring of your organizational progress.

We provide the OPTIC™ through a secure corporate dashboard to provide these detailed metrics in real time, so you can make progress without skipping a beat.
