Our tailored approach to Indigenous organizational climate
At Stillwoods Consulting, we are committed to supporting organizations in strengthening culture, governance, and employee engagement. Our approach ensures that both the process and the recommendations are tailored to your organization’s unique context and can be easily implemented. Unlike traditional organizational culture surveys—often gr-we recognize that a "one-size-fits-all" approach does not work for Indigenous communities.
A custom survey for unique needs
We had the privilege of working with the Kinoomaadziwan Education Body (KEB), the Indigenous education body for the Anishinaabe First Nations. When the Board of Directors requested an Organizational Climate Survey, it became clear that a traditional Organizational Climate Survey would not necessarily align with employees’ perceptions and render meaningful feedback or data. Together, the Director of Education and the Human Resources Manager along with Edwine Hugenholtz designed a custom organizational climate survey built from the ground up, aligning with the values of the KEB. This experience highlights our dedication to creating bespoke solutions that truly resonate with Indigenous organizational values and goals.
Beyond traditional surveys
Our Indigenous Organizational Climate Survey recognizes that requirements for Indigenous employees may differ, and that attraction and retention strategies may need to be different. This distinct approach allows us to gather more accurate and relevant data, leading to more effective and culturally appropriate recommendations. We delve deeper than surface-level metrics to uncover insights that truly matter for Indigenous talent management and organizational health.
