The Ownership Culture Survey

Empowering employee-owned companies with data to drive long-term success

A comprehensive culture and engagement survey for employee-owned companies

The NCEO's Ownership Culture Survey (OCS) gives you the tools to measure your employee ownership culture effectively. The OCS examines your culture with both breadth and depth, looking at everything from how well employee-owners at your company understand employee ownership to how they see their role in creating value to whether or not they have the tools, skills, and information to act like owners (and more). With this data, you can assess your ownership culture's strengths and weaknesses, measure progress over time, set concrete goals, and focus your energy where you'll get the greatest payoff.

Survey results include comparison data from over 27,000 respondents at more than 160 employee-owned companies and you receive an easy-to-understand report with specific recommendations based on your results, as well as consultation to help you act on the data.
