Overview

A 15-question lighthearted diagnostic across 5 domains that applies enterprise-grade scoring to your daily work life. Written for anyone who needs to answer: is my job description fiction, are my tools fighting me, and is lunch a myth?

Detailed Description

This assessment checks whether your daily job fundamentals are working or slowly wearing down your sanity. It covers five areas that matter to every employee in any industry or role: whether your job description matches reality, whether your tools help or hinder, whether you are growing or standing still, whether your personal time is protected, and whether your work is recognized and rewarded.
It uses the same scoring model as the enterprise assessments, so a lunch policy that exists on paper but never happens in practice will show up clearly as a Paper Tiger.
Results tell you what is working, what is broken, and what to fix first, not just a generic maturity level, because ig you aren't healthy and happy at work, it'll kill you.

Assessment Details

Audience

You. Secondary: any employee, manager, or leader who wants an honest look at daily work fundamentals.

Purpose

Finds the root causes of daily frustration: unclear roles, broken tools, missing training, lost personal time, and invisible contributions. Gives guidance for the actual gap, not a generic improvement tip.

Effort

Initial assessment: 3 minutes. Evidence gathering: none, just honesty. Reassessment: 3 minutes. Consultants required: zero.

Cadence

Quarterly, aligned with your performance review cycle. Or daily, whenever you feel like quitting.

Framework Alignment

General good management practice ISO 45003:2021 (psychological health and safety at work) in spirit ISO 10015:2019 (competence and training) in spirit

KPIs

  • Uninterrupted Lunch Rate - Share of workdays with an uninterrupted 30-minute break. Target: 80% or higher.
  • Time to Role Clarity - Days for a new hire to have an accurate, signed job description. Target: under 14 days.
  • Zombie Task Kill Rate - Hours recovered per quarter from eliminated unnecessary work. Target: rising.
  • After-Hours Contact Volume - Non-emergency work contacts outside core hours per week. Target: under 2.
  • Feedback Cadence Compliance - Share of scheduled 1-on-1s that actually happen with development content. Target: 90% or higher.

Dependencies

A Sense of Humor: required. The results hurt less if you can laugh at them. Honest Self-Assessment: rate what is real, not what the policy says should be true. Manager Relationship: several actions need a conversation with your manager. If that is hard, start with what you control. Recommended: For organization-level improvement, complete the IT Performance Management and Performance and Talent Management assessments.
