PATH (Periodic Assessment of Team Health) is an online assessment. Each team member takes a PATH Assessment . Once they all finish their assesments, a Team Report is generated and available immediately. From the Team Report, and after certified coaching, a Summary Report is produced for team members and organizational executives or HR. The Summary Report includes action steps to enhance strengths and address challenges.
How it Works
The goal of PATH is to help teams stay healthy, resilient, and effective. PATH addresses 7 characteristics (domains) of a healthy team and helps build a team culture that will:
1)increase commitment to the team and the task, 2) use diversity productively, 3) communicate effectively, 4) resolve conflict meaningfully, 5) lead purposefully, 6) make decisions efficiently, and 7) increase trust & openness.
PATH highlights the strengths and challenges of the team in each domain and then, with certified coaching, moves the team forward through self-understanding and the development of a plan of action (Summary Report).
PATH provides a real-time update on the health of a team, much like an annual physical provides an updated understanding of a person’s health. PATH serves a team best when it is given periodically. PATH is available in English and Spanish.
Reports
PATH Individual Assessment
The PATH Individual Assessment includes seven questions for each domain of team health. Five of the questions are likert-scale questions and two are write-in questions. One write-in question asks the team member to reflect on him/herself and the other to reflect on the team. In the Individual Assessment team members will see their average score for each domain represented in the radar chart. In a separate radar chart they will see the Maximum, Average, and Minimum team scores for each domain. The assessment will also give the team average for each domain and the individual average as well as the team overall average health score.
