Every year, SupportingLines rewards organizations who have attained distinguished results in our High-Performance Index™ (HPI). HPI is a comprehensive assessment that gauges whether an organization has a high-performance culture where teams achieve critical goals and people have a great human experience of work. We directly measure the conditions for:
- Operational performance
- Employee work engagementÂ
- Psychological safety
When an entire organization achieves a high HPI score, the majority of leaders and teams are truly living the values of the organization and offering an environment in which people can thrive. This year, we have had the pleasure of working with leaders and employees from 8 organizations who achieved distinguished results in their HPI assessments.
Learn more about each of these organizations below, as we introduce this year’s High-Performance Culture Award Recipients:
4Seasons Transportation carries students living with disabilities to school in a safe, calm and compassionate way. 4Seasons Transportation’s commitment to continuously improving the human experiences for students living with disabilities and that of their staff has come through in the results of each of their past HPI assessments, in which they have landed distinguished results.
During COVID-19, SupportingLines’ High-Performance Index surveys allowed us to truly communicate with our employees in the field. Because of the surveys, our organization was able to continually improve and now our employee engagement and performance are higher.
